Stone Firepit

This project has been a constant work in progress, and still isn't all the way complete, but it worked for us at least this season. It started with some grading that needed done on the west side of our house that was causing water damage inside. While David was tearing up the hill it was exposing these large pieces of slate rock. As I was going through and removing all the rocks I figured why not use them for a fire pit in the back. We've had a tire ring that we've used as a fire pit but have always envisioned adding stone or brick around it to make it look nicer. Well look what we've just found! Tons of large stones... fo free! Ideally the stones would be set in place with some mortar but since other projects have taken priority recently, this is working for us.
The tractor helped tear it up and the tiller worked the stuff close to the house
