Laying the Base Course of Blocks

your life a lot easier. Footing on this fire ring. We're actually using the PA patio itself as our footing. So, we're going to be building up with western wall blocks and then we're going to set the fire ring into that. So, this fire pit is going to sit on the patio surface. All right.

When you pour a footing, you're pouring concrete at 3,000 PSI. And the blocks themselves are 8,000 PSI on these concrete blocks. Can you damage these blocks? For sure you can discolor them, but these blocks patio blocks are going to hold up better than poured concrete does. That's right. They're a lot easier to use. It makes a consistent form of construction. So don't worry about taking the time to form out a different surface in the interior of this fire pit. Build your PA patio. It's quick. It's easy. And then begin build construction of the fire pit. So the reason this looks like it's going together so fast and easy is because it is. It is actually a precut kit. These stones are designed to match together already. So, all you guys got to do is grab them off from a pallet and put them in place and tighten them around the ring. All right, the guys have dry stacked the stone. Now, they're flipping them up. They're going to be putting a bead of glue down to hold this base course in place. They know exactly where the stones got to go. So, once they lay them, they're done. Make sure that you
