What happens here
Continue building up the fire pit walls by adding subsequent courses of stone blocks. Before placing each new block, apply a generous bead of concrete adhesive to the top surface of the blocks in the previous course. It is crucial to apply the adhesive far enough back from the face of the block to prevent it from squeezing out when the next block is pressed down. The steel fire pit ring is used as a continuous guide, being lifted up as each course is completed, until the desired height of the fire pit is achieved. Ensure that the blocks in each new course are offset (running bond pattern) from the blocks below for structural strength and a professional appearance.
Goal: Construct the fire pit walls to the final height, ensuring stability and proper bricklaying techniques.
