Fire Pit


I found a bargain at Burlington coat factory for a cool little fire pit. We are dreaming of fires on the deck and BBQ's with our family and friends this summer.

I decided to time how long it would take Craig to construct the thing....It actually didn't take Craig very long at all, maybe 15 minutes.


I love how our dog Saebo has to be involved in everything we do..if you didn't know about boxers they are the nosiest breed in the world.


I gave a helping hand with the decorative river rocks..





Ta Da! Oh isn't it fancy? Apparently the Steller's Jays have some use for the river rocks, we witnessed a bird steal one the next morning.




Chris, our friend from Anchorage came down this week to start the 'big project'. (Stairway and office room construction!) Chris is a very skilled carpenter so Craig swapped a hunting trip for some labour.



This is what my house looks like right now. Isn't it just lovely?


Here's the first step..making way for the support beam. I'm slightly nervous but excited. Stay tuned!

Aimee, you will have some really good times around your new fire pit. We use our all the time and when we are not around ours, we are at our friends pit.
Saebo is so cute. What a great manager- overseeing the employee. LOL...
I can't wait to see the finish house project all of this and planning a wedding! Enjoy...

I heard that Chris guy was kind of a hack carpenter! You should get some of the local Seward SBS guys to team up and build it...should take them about a month or two :)
