Our Neverending Project

Last summer we started a project to build a firepit in our backyard. We peeled away all the grass and Bret dug a hole.... and that was about as far as it got. So over winter it just sat and grew moss, which I actually kinda like although I wish there were stones or something for the grass to grow between. So all of a sudden Bret got a fire in his pants to start working on it again, and Im not going to complain, it would be fun to be able to actually have it done so we can use it. So last weekend he set out to build a concrete mold and pour the concrete. First he had so level out the hole so Cameron happily obliged in helping play in dirt.

I LOVE this picture, he looks so cute! Always helping:)

So Bret thought we could get away with just 8 bags of concrete... we used 23 after all was said and done. Here he is mixing and pouring the concrete into the mold he built.

Now it has been setting up for a few days and we havent had time where there was daylight to pull the mold off. So as soon as we get out there and take it off I will post a picture. Now all we have to do is put rocks down around it and Bret is hopefully going to build some benches to go around it. I cant wait for it to be done! Lets hope it doesnt take us until the summer of 2011 to get any more work done on it!
