Fire Pit

Lukas and Noah enjoy creating things, building things and they really like fire.  They like to sit by the fire, but even more so they like to do black smiting by the fire. On Sunday, Bob kindly and generously gave his time to yet another yard project - a more permanent fire pit.
The boys gathered up the rocks, laid out the pattern and then mixed up the concrete to pour between the rocks to make the structure permanent. Since this fire pit will primarily be used for black smiting there are even some customized insert to allow for easy access to the hot coals via strategically placed openings in the fire pit rim.

The inaugural fire came a few short hours after the last bit of concrete was poured ... Bob and I sat back enjoying the fire listening to the rhythmic pounding of hammers against hot iron - not the typical sounds heard around a fire, but the sound of joy for our boys.
