Fire pit fun

A couple of weeks my sweet wife entered a drawing for a fire pit. She actually won! She informed me that it was a circle of bricks inside which one burns wood. Our neighbors don't have a fire pit but they frequently sit around a bonfire and drink beer. So, I guess we could sit around a fire pit and do something. In reality we would never sit around a fire outside and do anything. Anyway, I went to pick up the pit last weekend. I thought the fire pit would be a few small bricks. Well, here are some pictures the the ordeal.This is only half the amount of bricks required for the pit. I realized that the car was close to maxed out on weight capabilities so I left with a partial load. This fire pit was turning into a nightmare. I had to make two trips to the landscape company (Beauchamps, in case anyone needs bricks). It is about 20 miles one way. Here's a picture of my chassis riding low on the springs.
Here is the after I unloaded it picture.

I took the Jeep Liberty for the second trip. I managed to move all the bricks next to the house for safe keeping. Safe from what I don't know. Who would steal bricks? They're heavy.

I need to mention that I also received a heavy bag of gravel or something to line the bottom of the fire pit. Winning a drawing for something free is generally a good thing, but a pile of bricks is doubtful. Plus don't forget the bag of gravel, also heavy. I let you know if anything develops regarding the fire pit.
