I've been wanting a fire pit in my backyard since the day we bought the house. Finally made it happen this weekend! We tore down the kids' playset because it just doesn't get used all that often anymore and we wanted to free up some real estate in the backyard. While we are waiting for the new grass to grow in, we set out to find the perfect spot for the fire pit. Many factors went into this, such as slip 'n slide placement during the summer, garden placement, where the dog poo's the most, and of course the pitching area. Couldn't be too close to the house, or under the big tree, etc. We finally settled on a spot off to the side of the patio. This weekend's weather was perfect for our inaugural fire.
