Spent about 3 weekends building a brick pizza oven in our backyard with my older kids helping with the construction. Total cost was maybe $400 in materials. Now every Friday night is pizza night and we're having neighbors over constantly. My kids think they're chefs and honestly the whole thing brought us closer together. Would recommend this project to any dad.
Dude, congrats on finishing this. I'm still in the planning phase of my own backyard stuff, so seeing someone actually pull it off is inspiring. Your kids are gonna remember helping build that.
That's awesome. Building something tangible with your kids is such a good move. Do they actually help maintain it or are you the one who keeps it running now?
This is exactly the kind of weekend project I want to do with mine. How complex was the build? I'm not super handy but I like the idea of doing something that's both useful and gets the kids involved.
This is the kind of project that becomes a memory. The pizza oven is cool but what really matters is those three weekends with your kids working alongside you. That's the stuff they'll remember forever.

This is awesome, man. Four hundred bucks and you got the kids involved in building it? That's the kind of weekend project that turns into memories. Now you'll have pizza nights for years.
