A backyard fire pit looks like one of the easier outdoor projects — pick a spot, buy some stone, light a match. Then the first weekend gets spent second-guessing the location, the second gets spent returning materials that don’t match the style you actually wanted, and by the third weekend the “quick project” has turned […]
