Looks like you will have a great place when done. Good to see that it isnt only me that these projects take a year or more sometimes to complete.

That looks sweet, are you going to add fire sprinklers above the smokers? It would be easy enough to do using CPVC and some heads.
It could be as easy as having a hose connection, or tie it onto a pvc water line permanently, with a drain down valve, for winterizing.

I'm sure those building materials weren't cheap, not in this day and age.

Thanks fork, and no sprinkler plans. I have a commercial extinguisher just inside the garage door, considering a wall mount in the shed too ….ie with my forging and such in the shop I keep more than one within arms reach…..oh if you don’t count the labor the materials weren’t too bad….. we got most the stuff with 15-20% off coupons via Lowe’s rewards.

Much appreciated JckD! It breaths pretty good but it keeps the sun out which in the summer is a killer….in the cold months it will be nice to keep some heat. We BBQ tons in the winter! Most the rain and wind comes from the back wall direction so it will also keep snow and rain out….we just had a couple of monsoons the last few days and it keeps everything dry!!!
