In this video I go over how I built my fireplace and patio. Part 1 covers mainly the fireplace, but there is some drainage work shown in part 1 that the patio benefits from. This video is picture heavy since I didn't film building the fireplace, but it is narrated. Hopefully you learn something or get inspired to build something from this!

More amazing work. You did an unbelievable job on this for someone who’s never built one before!

Love this kind of content. Very nicely done on the video as well as the fireplace! Couple of questions: (1) Why did you set concrete pilings? Maybe that'll be more obvious in the next video. (2) Also would be curious to hear more details on how you handled drainage in your in the soggy area near the hill. Did you simply add stone under the pavers to direct the water to the french drains or did you add additional french drains in that area?

There’s definitely more on this in the next video, the concrete pilings get built into the stone wall, the future plan is to put a timber pergola on top and I wanted to have a solid foundation for it. The perimeter drain shown in this video handles a lot of the water run off, also in the next video you’ll see me put in more French drains under the walks and main patio, but essentially you guessed it, the supporting material for all the walks and patio is 3/4 stone, then 1/4” for the top inch below the bricks. This website has a good diagram, it’s pretty close to what I followed dot.ca.gov/programs/design/lap-erosion-control-design/tool-1-lap-erosion-control-toolbox/tool-1nn-40-permeable-paving
