Fire-Pit
Episode DROC-104
Feel like your backyard just isn't the gathering place you know it could be? Dean and Derek have the solution: build a fire-pit...and then invite your friends and family for weekend gatherings. In this episode of Rock Solid, Derek and Dean build a stone fire pit with a crushed stone seating area in a backyard. They'll go to a local quarry to pick out a mixture of Connecticut green and New England fieldstone for the fire pit. They will share tips on what stones to look for at the quarry and how to position and organize those stones on-site to ensure an easy install and beautiful finished project. During the build, they will explain ratio, mud mixing, chiseling and generally how to finesse the stone into place.
