DIY Backyard Fire Pit Makeover Project . . . UPDATE

Happy Summer!!

The weather has been so nice we are once again cooking and eating outdoors ~ Woohoo!

The weather has also allowed Mr. Wonderful to continue on his current DIY Project which is changing our fire pit seating from wood benches to stone.

First was cement for the back and top of the seating. Once that was finished he framed in the skirt and around the bottom.

He mixed a lot of cement for his one man project. 

So far so good. Once it dried he could prepare for the third step.

That entailed framing below the bench.

It went well and was ready to go as soon as the bench was dry.

TA~DA! 

The next step was to put on the scratch coat which are the horizontal lines. The cement on the rocks will adhere to the scratch and should keep the stones from detaching over time. 

🤞🏻 

I will be back soon to share the progress!

Happy Tuesday!
