In this video I source a pallet of flagstone from FB marketplace and build the entire patio and fire pit surround myself.
Be sure to check out the next video that goes into the details of the smoke-less aspect of the fire pit! • DIY SMOKELESS Fire Pit...

This is an awesome video. This is exactly what we got quotes for to be done by contractors/hardscapers and they all came back over $16k. Insane. For a 15ft patio pit area. This video gives me confidence that we can do this ourselves!

Looks good. I’m thinking of doing something similar with mine, but perhaps using cobblestone instead. And after doing a couple of tiger projects, sheds, I agree, removing the grass is the hardest part. We’ll that and carrying the pavers from the store to truck, from truck to yard, then from yard to their final location. You’ve made a New subscriber out of me. Us average dads need to stick together

Looks awesome. Why did you decide to not cement the bricks together?

@AverageDadChannel Жыл бұрын

Thanks MKA! Are you talking about the fire pit surround bricks? I went back later and made it a “smokeless” fire pit (also have a video on it) and wanted to be able to adjust or rework as needed. I about have it how I want now, so may use high temp construction adhesive between them this fall so they stay put.

Is there a reason you didn't opt to put in a weed barrier?

@AverageDadChannel Жыл бұрын

Hey Mike, honestly I just didn’t think to add it at the time (somewhat followed Bro Build’s patio video and they didn’t use any). It probably would’ve been good to do, but very surprisingly in retrospect, after 12 months we haven’t had any weeds in the gaps. If I go back and put down polymeric sand this fall hopefully that will negate any concerns going forward.

@AverageDadChannel Жыл бұрын

Hey Neil, I’m not positive as I bought it off fb marketplace, but I would guess it’s sandstone (I’m in the Midwest if that helps at all). It was all about 1.75 to 2” thick.
