The Fire Pit is Finished!

We always forget to do a BEFORE picture. Ugh! But believe me, it was ugly! It was covered in pea gravel and had weeds all over the place. The fire pit itself wasn't really a pit, just a circle line with rocks and red lava rocks in the middle mixed with ashes.

First we had to remove all the pea gravel. Dave and I got shovels and shoveled it all into his trailer:

Luckily the ground covers under the pea gravel made it easier. We listed the pea gravel for Free on ksl.com classifieds and got rid of it day of. 

Then we sifted through the contents of the "fire pit" and removed all the good lava rocks and rinsed them off. We found all the flat red rocks around the yard and decided we would have enough, then Dave dug a big hole. We went to Lehi Brick and bought their left over bricks that sell for 15 cents a piece and Dave started on the fun part. Once the pit was done, we went to Lowes with our gift card we got through using our Discover Card points and bought 15 bags of dark brown mulch. We put it in, hosed the rocks off, and voila! Our fire pit. It only cost us $24. Woohoo!
