The house has a huge deck off the back (sorry i don't have a picture of it as it was) that is nice, but not used a whole bunch. What better than to add a fire pit off the corner then? We started a couple weeks back by cutting the outline and seeing what it looked like under the deck. Quick jump back in time ... the lady that lived here before us had a shaggy dog .. and we're back - the deck had a whole mess of long dog hair in the cracks, worked under the boards, etc - GROSS. After looking under there, we decided on a good approach to changing the support beams, where to put the anchor blocks, etc. This weekend was the next part of the metamorphasis - changing the supports and setting up the fire pit base.
This is the area once the main section of the deck had been removed and the change in support had been made. Susie helped me a lot with all this, then i bailed to the garage to work on some other projects while she worked on the stonework.
Susie did a great job with making the area look like we had imagined. She used flagstones that had been on the side of the driveway - the same flagstone she's used for the path.
Susie surveying her handiwork (after having a shower and some food).
Of course Ned had to give his approval.
