Fire Pit the end of the work start of the enjoyment

This is the third and last part of the video log of the creation of my Fire Pit. The realisation of a dream that came true with the expert help of my Father George West.

Started in October 2006 and with the initial help from a couple of good friends but mostly dug by my Dad with me labouring to the skip at the other end of the garden we start the long process of digging the foundations for the fire pit. With an internal diameter of 16ft and a foundation depth of 4.5ft it was a massive task and not a machine in site to fill the six skips it eventually required to clear the site. Not recommended for the faint hearted.

Have been completed over a year ago the soft landscape is now growing up and it makes the perfect place to slip out too and have a beer.

Thats technically not a fire pit

[SH4UNWE5T]

@MickScarborough its a pit with a fire in it... what more would you like ;)

[MickScarborough]

@SH4UNWE5T Accuracy when I am searching. A fire pit is a pit that holds the fire, not a pit that people sit in with a contained fire in with them.

@MickScarborough Well clearly you have never had an evening on the beer in my Fire Pit then :) My pit certainly does hold fire in it.. and very warm it is too...
