30 Jan 20 - The top cap of the fire pit started cracking on the inside of the ring.  I talked to my next door neighbor, who built the pit, about it.  He sent 2 of his guys to fix it.  The top row had to be removed and they found about 90% of the lower bricks have cracked.  They are gluing them back together and will insert a steel ring to keep them from further damage. 

 Hopefully they will be done today except for the steel insert ring.

Cutting and gluing!
