Success! Built a pizza oven with my 9yo over spring break

So this was my mini-me's idea, not mine. Kid watches too much cooking shows. We dug a hole in the backyard, built a frame out of cinder blocks, ordered a prefab oven insert online (best decision ever, don't try to DIY the actual oven part), and got a mason working with us for one day to help with the mortar/bricks. Total project: about 2 weeks, cost around $1,200. But last weekend we had the neighborhood over and made pizzas and literally everyone said it was the coolest thing they'd ever seen. My kid was so proud. He still talks about "his" pizza oven. Worth every penny honestly.
