I was right. Not a huge surprise, but the most important thing to remember is my bf was WRONG! Ha. We have a lot of sticks in our backyard. Not a couple here or there, it’s extreme, the entire yard is covered in sticks. Entirely. Of course the dog loves it, but my paranoia only sees all the ways she can hurt her clumsy self. So, I had the brilliant idea of buying or making a fire pit. And I love having fires in the summer. So, I started doing some cheapest options research. Eventually we got our hands on a cast iron chiminea that someone was getting rid of. They only wanted $30. Nice! Pitched the idea to the bf, he thought it looked like a piece of junk and no amount of DIY would make it look good.
