What is his latest project, you ask? A firepit. He saw a picture of this beautiful patio with a fire pit in a magazine and decided we needed one in our backyard. So he started digging. This is a shot of the original hole with the open fire cast iron grill he got for Father's Day so he could have a Argentine style cook out.
He got it this far and then we went to get the cement blocks to line it. His pit was too shallow and too small, so back to digging! He finally got it where he thought it was big enough, but no luck. He laid the first row of blocks and had to dig some more. Finally he had it big enough and all level and was ready to mortar.
The finished product and a very proud husband. He really did a great job. Hopefully soon we will tear up the sod around it and lay out a brick paver patio.

Good job! So, what's the first thing you're going to roast?
A lamb. You know, like on My Big, Fat Greek Wedding. And invite the whole neighborhood. :)
Eh, you should go Hawaiian and do a pig and throw a luau.
Wow, nice job Brandon. That is really cool-looking! I am envious of your HUGE backyard. My kids keep telling us all these things they want in the yard - a swingset, a sandbox, etc. It's so sad that I have to keep telling them that we can't have those things, because if we do, there will be no yard left!! :)
