Backyard firepit

Basically, Ryan came to live at our house and while he was there he redid our backyard and built us a firepit. That's the short version of the story. He and Phil worked long days to craft a gorgeous brick patio out of old bricks that were mostly just hiding under the dirt in our jungle of a yard. They excavated them and re-laid them all out, taking the time to build us a beautiful firepit in the middle.
They also bordered in all the trees and lined a walkway with slate chips all around.
We should have broken the bottle of champagne over the pit to inaugurate it like an ocean liner...but we decided to drink it instead.
It glows like a little lantern at night.
