Nice work, as a contractor myself the only thing I would say is to have drilled some steel reinforcing rods into the old slab to tie the old and new concrete slabs together. Also some reinforcing mesh would be a good idea.
The amount of effort, time and materials are probably much more than anyone would ever suspect. I like the idea of using composite materials. However so costly these days. A great project that actually got finished and looks super cool. Thanks for this.
Beautiful minitaure version of The Coliseum. What you did, takes commitment, skills and cojones to accomplish. Hope the family is happy and enjoying the results of your hard work.
Awesome creation! Good job! I'm surprised this hasn't reached a few million views, this is not only unique but easily shows that with some thought and patience, it's possible to even DIY something as awesome as this.
So Nice!!! Living in a cold winter climate, I can imagine a vented, partially enclosed greenhouse overhead to keep the heat in for enjoying the outdoors year round!!! I really love the whole design of this.
Well done. I am a landscaper by trade and what you did (while maybe not being the same way I would do it) came out very well. I would like to see an update to see how it is holding up!
Hey man, I don’t comment much but I have to say, this is the first video that I have seen on TH-cam where I actually watched every second of it, and it had my complete attention. I even paused and went back a few times so I could better understand the steps. Congrats and thank you for inspiring me!
With all that kit you clearly know what you're doing, so you been doing it for a while, no novice can just do this, you're experienced in the craft, we was not born yesterday, But great job!!!
Wow. Aw-inspiring. I can't imagine the level of focus and dedication this must have taken. At one point, I felt like I was watching the pyramids being built.Really exceptional work. Kudos.
You missed your calling your a great masonry person this is pro level and very neat project. Love the rounded design so much more inviting and easier to talk with others when in circle rather a square. Great Job. I would imagine many of your friends are like wanna come build me one. I love the use of the composite for the seats great idea and a lot warmer than sitting on concrete slab ingenious.
MAGNIFICENT! Most Excellent work Sir. This needs to be promoted to DIY/GARDEN Magazines. Outstanding craftsmanship Sir. Keep Up the Great Work. (( and dont forget the Marshmellons ;-) ))
That is greeeaaat! You have more patience than I do. With a few modifications you could have a fire-pit encircled by a hot tub. I concur with Just Dave...the 2001 a Space Odyssey music...Strauss if I had to guess...a nice touch. I look forward to the follow-up video of when you add the Saturn V smoker.
Great job, looks good. Nice way to re purpose an old space and materials. Fire pan a good idea as fire direct on concrete without firebricks can explode small air pockets in the concrete. (from experience)
Man... This looks EXACTLY like the build my uncle made like 10 years ago... Even down to the same type of wood on the seats... That is eerie.... The stone for the walkway isn't the same though, but the color is really close. He used italian tiles, but gee, if the location hadn't been different I would have been 100% convinced this was my uncles build (as far as I know he never published it anywhere, he can barely turn on a computer, so I am not accusing you of copying or anything like that)... Love it by the way, looks amazing!
What a beautiful job. I bet if you hired a pro it wouldn't be the same for they would put hard work but not the same love. You should be very proud of yourself.
awesome ideas, my very first thoughts were drainage, and every time I thought it, two minutes later, it was "and this pipe is added for drainage" touché!
No, he's right, he's no professional. Why did you use bitumen to seal only the floor of the seat cavity? Also, what is the frost depth in your region? I would be a little concerned with frost damage to the seat structure from all that organic matter you mixed in with the rocks for fill, but then again, I live in Zone 5 / Zone 4 so we have a bit more to worry about than say a California Zone 9 in that area.
This looks fantastic. And you just have me such a good idea with that wallpaper steamer for a bender! Now I'm really going to invest in one as I do a few jobs with wall paper removal... Thanks for that!
I have never considered giving a standing ovation for a youtube video, but dude, I am on my feet. Bravo BRAVO!
I know right!!!!!! So much work.
Absolutely man that was impressive!!!
Nice work, as a contractor myself the only thing I would say is to have drilled some steel reinforcing rods into the old slab to tie the old and new concrete slabs together. Also some reinforcing mesh would be a good idea.
Who cares
Anthony cronin Clients do when it cracks and call you back and good contractors care as they take pride in their work and maintain a good reputation.
Nice off you to say, thank you
@@cro1321 someone has a bad work ethic
Anthony cronin Someone who wants to do it right
nice to see a man enjoying his space and having a go instead of being neurotic! Great job Enjoy the times around it✌
The only thing missing is a final shot with friends gathered round, fire blazing, and cocktails chilling. Magnificent job, my friend.
Thanks to this guy im trying it in my own backyard. God be with me.
Dude, take a bow. Standing ovation from the gallery. Bravo!
The amount of effort, time and materials are probably much more than anyone would ever suspect. I like the idea of using composite materials. However so costly these days. A great project that actually got finished and looks super cool. Thanks for this.
You are a true expert if you make something like that and still give everyone the im no pro or a tradesman warning. True handyman king. Great work :)
Beautiful minitaure version of The Coliseum. What you did, takes commitment, skills and cojones to accomplish. Hope the family is happy and enjoying the results of your hard work.
what a amazing job for a so called "unprofessional" DIY enthusiast, salute
Awesome creation! Good job! I'm surprised this hasn't reached a few million views, this is not only unique but easily shows that with some thought and patience, it's possible to even DIY something as awesome as this.
I've done my whole house inside and out by watching TH-cam videos they are a godsend
Same here.
you live in a fire pit now?
@@moos5221 yes well fire pit is the secret entrance to my underground mansion
Love the music. Better days.
Wow!! That's quite a remarkable feat! Congrats!! Only thing I would have added would be venting for smokeless pit. Incredible work!
Well done, and the music brings back memories of the movie 2001.
Just Dave agreed. Beautiful classic not like the crap they play now a days.
Blue Danube waltz by Johann Strauss.
Forget what you said in the beginning... You're a PRO in my eyes. This is Awesomeness
Looks great! You did really good job for not being a professional. I would have never guessed it wasn't contracted out.
That would look really good with glass rocks under the fire pan to give it a fire and ice look. Very nice pit and excellent idea.
So Nice!!! Living in a cold winter climate, I can imagine a vented, partially enclosed greenhouse overhead to keep the heat in for enjoying the outdoors year round!!! I really love the whole design of this.
Well done. I am a landscaper by trade and what you did (while maybe not being the same way I would do it) came out very well. I would like to see an update to see how it is holding up!
Great job! You should be very proud of yourself. Excellent looking fire pit! I can't believe people are even giving you 👎.
They are jealous
Hey man, I don’t comment much but I have to say, this is the first video that I have seen on TH-cam where I actually watched every second of it, and it had my complete attention. I even paused and went back a few times so I could better understand the steps. Congrats and thank you for inspiring me!
Just WOW... I usually have criticism on building, but this is excellent!
That is beautiful. You know you’re an adult when stuff like this is satisfying
I built a incubator once, in grade school that works. Nice Job Guy's, it's beautiful.
I dig it! I can tell you did a lot of planning so the end project came out right. Looks sharp. Thanks for sharing it with us.
White text with black outline.
Awesome build! 🤘
Awesome construction. Looks like a roman colosseum.
great project and FINALLY some great background music
I thought I was decent at DIY. I think I need to step my game up. Great work.
With all that kit you clearly know what you're doing, so you been doing it for a while, no novice can just do this, you're experienced in the craft, we was not born yesterday, But great job!!!
I'm a builder and that is excellent. Well done 👍👍
First I came for the video of diy, from then forward just for the soothing melody. Beautiful
Wow. Aw-inspiring. I can't imagine the level of focus and dedication this must have taken. At one point, I felt like I was watching the pyramids being built.Really exceptional work. Kudos.
OUTSTANDING! I want one in my yard!
Excellent job!! You should be proud of yourself, I know I am proud of your talents.
Beautiful work, better than other fire pits ive seen on here.
This is one badass fire pit. Excellent job man. Pat yourself on the back for this one.
That is a job to be proud of. I take my hat off to you, it looks really inviting.

What a beautiful peace of art. Bravo 👏
Great choice of music, not much beats Johan Sebastian Strauss's "Blue Danube". Oh and, loved the build, also!
You say you're not pro, but that looks pretty pro to me. Very nice work!
You did a great job on this project. I love the look.
Excellent music choice! Great Job too. I'm sure you get plenty use of it.
Awsome job may recommend a cage around the fire to block popping embers.
