Little Lawn (part 3)

Tonight we built a little bench out in the new fire pit / lawn area.  We used a couple of cedar rounds from Kate and Derry’s tree (thanks guys!) and some 2×6’s that used to be hand rails on the old deck.  The hardest part was getting the logs set level, but I did that while Ben made a roast for dinner.  Mmmm, roast beef.  After dinner I cut the boards to match the round of the logs with the jig saw and Ben screwed them in with some long stainless deck screws.   After finishing the bench we built our first fire out there.  I had fun playing with my camera while Ben played with the fire.  Sam didn’t care for the fire much and opted to sit under the maple tree or in his sand box until it was time for bed.  From the bench I watched the sunset, moon rise, and of course the fire.  The area still has bare dirt and is not quite level, but so far so good!
