Enough Sitting Room for Everyone

Cinder blocks are a great medium to build with since they're cheap, sturdy, and don't need to be primed and overhandled when painting. As you can see from the image down below, you can polish off a few projects in one fell swoop, just using paint, the blocks, and a few planks of wood. Plus, after this project is complete, your backyard will become the place where all of your friends will be begging to hang out.

If you plan on building a cinder block fire pit like this one, we'd suggest that you only paint the outside of the cinder blocks. The heat generated on the inside of the fire pit may warp or melt the paint if you paint the whole block.
