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.
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.
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.
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 UA-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!
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.
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.
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!!!
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.
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)
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.

Dude, take a bow. Standing ovation from the gallery. Bravo!
Thanks to this guy im trying it in my own backyard. God be with me.
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
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 :)
Looks great! You did really good job for not being a professional. I would have never guessed it wasn't contracted out.
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!

Wow!! That's quite a remarkable feat! Congrats!! Only thing I would have added would be venting for smokeless pit. Incredible work!
Forget what you said in the beginning... You're a PRO in my eyes. This is Awesomeness
That is beautiful. You know you’re an adult when stuff like this is satisfying
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
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.
I built a incubator once, in grade school that works. Nice Job Guy's, it's beautiful.
I've done my whole house inside and out by watching UA-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
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.
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.
Just WOW... I usually have criticism on building, but this is excellent!
I thought I was decent at DIY. I think I need to step my game up. Great work.
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.
Awesome construction. Looks like a roman colosseum.
White text with black outline.
Awesome build! 🤘
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.

Love the music. Better days.
great project and FINALLY some great background music
I'm a builder and that is excellent. Well done 👍👍
Awsome job may recommend a cage around the fire to block popping embers.
Good thing I found you. What an inspirational project. Three cheers. Very masculine still very pretty you get my drift...👍👍👍

First I came for the video of diy, from then forward just for the soothing melody. Beautiful
Hes not a professional right! I’m stunned this came out beautiful I couldn’t wait for the end of the video. 👏
OUTSTANDING! I want one in my yard!
You say you're not pro, but that looks pretty pro to me. Very nice work!
That is a job to be proud of. I take my hat off to you, it looks really inviting.
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.
man this is a dream firepit!!
Great job! Love the style... The only problem is now my wife wants one. I guess your hired👷
I don't know if that music was in 2001: A Space Odyssey, but the style fit. That thing is beautiful.
Motivation! Looks difficult but definitely amazing diy one day
What a beautiful peace of art. Bravo 👏
Excellent music choice! Great Job too. I'm sure you get plenty use of it.
Excellent job!! You should be proud of yourself, I know I am proud of your talents.
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)
Nice job...lighting wood have been nice addition and a place for smores supplies
You did a great job on this project. I love the look.
looks awesome. very nice work. you thought of everything for your fire pit. and sitting walls. wow.
I wish i was half the DIY'er you are. That is an awesome project amd you made it beautiful.
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!
Great choice of music, not much beats Johan Sebastian Strauss's "Blue Danube". Oh and, loved the build, also!
I’m blown away this is bad ass. Great job
Crazy good and enjoyed how you put the video together. Loved how you incorporated use of the old slab. Kudos to the effort.
Amazing skills and dedication you are awesome, thanks for sharing.
I enjoyed watching the process of this build. Very good job.
Wow great firepit and seating area....👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥

Thanks for that!
"I am not a professional" YOU LYING SACK OF POTATOES!" seriously thou amazing work.
No, he's right, he's no professional.

This looks amazing!! Nice work!!! I will do a fire pit in a school project!
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.
