It begins

I decided to build and outdoor fireplace/grill since I have the summers off. The catch is, I'm such a miser I don't want to actually spend any money to do so. I'm sure I'll spend some money, I don't know where I'd find masonry mortar that isn't used; the point is to use as much recycled or free material as possible.
I'm scouring craigslist in search for:

• Brick
• Cinder block
• More brick
• Fire brick
• Even more brick
• Fancy decorative rock/brick
• And, you guessed it, more brick

I figured I'd blog my progress.
