Started on the Outdoor Kitchen

Maybe overcomplicated, but could you put a wye with an air hose fitting on the line with a valve that's closed, and only open the valve after you've turned off the supply when you're going to blow down for the winter?

Yea,,, This ... Just after the shut off valve put a T in... Put a shut off valve with the air fitting as mcokevin said ...

Makes sense !
Have used that idea for Sprinkler System and Swimming pool closing !
Just make sure you can blow out the entire line.
DO IT SEVERAL TIMES! To eliminate the water !
Good luck !
PS: Kitchen space Looks Good !

I agree. Treat it like a lawn sprinkler system.
And go Hoosiers!

Following, too.
I'm hoping to get my outdoor slab in this summer.

I'm putting a shut off valve inside so I can winterize for the bad month's. I still have to figure out some way to blow air thru to get all of the water out though.

The other got you covered for ideas.
Just never get the idea to use RV antifreeze in the water line. It has Bitrex and you never can get that taste out.

Dry with the forms off and relief cuts made.

Building materials won’t be delivered for two weeks so I guess I’ll pull wires in the meantime.

Very nice. Can I ask what the length and width is?

The pavilion is 12x20. The whole concrete slab is 20x40. Half will be the kitchen and the other half will be area for table and chairs or picnic table. I'm still undecided on furniture.

Looks great. Following!

This metal framing is slow going!

 

[02ebz06]

I feel your pain.
I did that and went through a lot of blades cutting that stuff.

Looks pretty good . Not sure how much you have left to do , but if you shoot your bottom track down , cut and assemble the top track right in the bottom track before the studs . Overlap your corners and screw it together . Cut the stud lengths for the corners , then cap it with the top . Set for plumb and level , then fill in the rest of the studs as needed . If you do that , make sure you " follow " the bottom track as far as direction of the overlaps .

Even if you don't prefab the tops , overlapping the corners on the top track will speed things up a lot . Keep going , you know what you're doing .

Red handled snips .
Gonna be nice .
