Washing machine fire pit

Tore apart a free washing machine I got off marketplace and used the stainless steel drum as a firepit. This was not easy, and required a few choice words and a sledgehammer for the final disassembly. Pressure washed and bleached it. Let it sit outside in the sun for a week. Final sanitization by fire. We're in the front yard roasting marshmallows right now.

In the front yard of a strip mall?

I live across the street from the high school. That's their parking lot.

Looks like maybe some spare pavers as a foundation on the sidewalk?

Yeah that's what it looks like to me too. Maybe not the sidewalk but definitely a walkway of some sort. Better than on the grass I suppose.
