Free fire pits are the best kinds of fire pits!

My buddy / neighbor works for a pool & landscaping / hardscaping supply company. He gets free demo models of the stuff they sell for their showroom and he had this fire pit that was time to be retired from the floor. He loaded the stone and top piece into his truck and we unloaded and built this thing in half an hour last night! Pretty awesome gift, we owe them a really nice dinner. He said the retail on these is about $750.
Wifey knew we were going to get it but she didn't know we built it already so it will be a cool surprise for her when she gets home tomorrow from visiting family up north. You can't tell from the pic but the thing is huge...like 5 feet around. The whole pit is slightly off level due to the slope of the yard, at some point I could probably disassemble and put a bed of sand or something down but I'm really not worried about it right now because it looks fine. At some point I'll probably put pavers down around it and I can address it then.
Just need to hit the bermuda on the inside with some RoundUp, throw some sand down inside and light the fire!
