We have learned through the years that several members of our crew are very good at stone work. Their best example yet is the bridge on thirteen that was completely done in house by our staff. The bridge on hole 1 also displays their work. Today the task was to create a fire pit off of the back porch by the Pump Room. Previous to today, the bushes had been removed in the hedge to make room for the addition.
The stones that have been used are the same style as those used around the pond on 17, but are a smaller size. The stones were dry stacked in a semi-circle next to the existing porch wall. The pit was then lined with fabric and filled with stone. The fabric was put in place to keep the stone from washing through the cracks in the stone during rains. Once the stone was in place, it was topped of with sand to use as the base for the fire.
The fire pit should be functional shortly.
