Gather ’round everyone. It’s time to get a little personal here with your talkative plasqer, Erica. My mother wanted a fire pit for her Christmas present. My sister and I are just dumb enough to happily volunteer to do it and just smart enough to actually do it correctly. So here is the Comic Life version of building a fire pit.

Note: doing this for a loved one is an excellent way to burn calories consumed during holiday rejoicing. The bigger the fire pit the better the burn.
