    Thats a great space to start with! I'm jealous, I also think that maybe half walls would be a good idea. Or at least on 2 sides. I am thinking maybe full screened in walls on the deck side, and half walls on the sides that will be open to the ground. I'm not sure yet. Concrete counter tops...

    I will be using a steel roof. That was the plan from day one. And the walls will be screened in. Possibly half walls. As far as the budget goes. The 35k is not an all inclusive price. Thats the money for the structure and replaceable deck. Any fridge or table and chairs wouldn't be Included...

    These structures, are exactly what I want to build on top of my new deck. Now just imagine them screened in and we are set!

    How big is that deck? How big it is under roof?

    I wish the decking was good. It's not, I bought those outdoor carpet rugs to put down because it's soft, the decking actually has some holes in it. Big enough that my 2.5 year old could probably loose a foot into if she stepped just right. The deck is about 25 years old. Which in northern IL is...

    If I built a brick offset smoker, built in. With an iron door, and a brick chimney, what's there to break? Don't focus to much on the built in. If I bought a commercially made smoker, yes I would build it in. But I think I would do it in such a way it's serviceable and replaceable. Like your...

    Just a few quick pictures of the deck, you can see the elevation change. As far as keeping it that level, I like that it's even with the house. As far as being handy goes, I figure I'm handy enough, I've worked in construction basically in one form or another my whole career. I will use...

    Thanks for the replies guys. Great ideas. I can touch on some of the stuff now. My backyard is much lower then the house, so it's going to be a raised deck off the back of my house. So concrete style patio won't work. I get some pictures and post them. I like the idea of concrete counter...

    My only thought is that I plan on the smoker and grill to be built in. I would really like to have the smoker built as a built in made out of brick. But I also think that having a built in big green egg might be a good way to. But I've never smoked or use a commercial smoker. Just my homemade...

    Luckily we own a spot that I can pretty much build whatever I want size wise. Just how much I can and want to afford to put into the project.

    It all good. I hope to use this thread to park ideas and hopefully get a sense of what works vs doesn’t, and what seems like pipe dreams and maybe aren't worth it. Growing up my mom has a smaller gazebo, we used it to eat in it, on nice summer nights. I have two young girls under 3 right now...

    Mods, if this isn't in the section, feel free to move it. (A outdoor cook space/ kitchen sub would be nice) Anyway, my and my wife have decided to build a outside screened pavilion, outside kitchen, and deck. Construction will start in spring 2022, so no worries about lumber prices yet...

    Sourdough french toast w/fresh strawberries

    Got up this morning and headed out to the strawberry patch to see what I had ready. Picked a bunch and got to busy cooking. Got a half a hog a few weeks ago, so I have some killer breakfast sausage. Cooked some of that up. Grabbed some sourdough and made some french toast, topped it off with...

    Bluetooth thermometer

    Does that mean I should spend more of my money to buy a different one? When they had a chance to remedy it and chose not to? I won't lie the 50% off on that one they have advertised is temping. But even at 40 bucks it's to much for the frustration of me being halfway through a smoke and...
