Started on the Outdoor Kitchen

[Texascat]

Got started on the outdoor kitchen this weekend finally. The weather here has been rain every time I’ve had time to work on it. I’m hoping after the concrete is poured I’ll get more opportunity to work on it.

At least it’s started!

Good start. Love to see what you create in all that space.

I'm in. At you operating the skid steer or someone else?

Nice!

I'll follow along, you'll love it. As a thought you may already know, get your concrete dyed. The cost is cheap enough, there's plenty of colors available, and then the color goes all the way through.

Here's mine I just got mine mostly completed...

My Outdoor Area

I've been wanting to build an outdoor cooking/entertainment area on the back of our house for many years so this has been a long, long journey. Finally last year I decided to go ahead with the project since we're not getting any younger. I wasn't going to post about it until it was finished, but...

Still need gutters, blinds and different furniture...

My wife's cousin. He works for a concrete company and is helping me at the family price.

Very Nice! I'll be glad when I get as far along as you. I've got a long way to go...

I'd like to use the dye but I'm extending an existing patio so it will have to match that.

I’ll look forward to these updates. Some say food tastes 65% better when cooked outside.

 

[Colin1230]

I'll tag along.

I'm seated for the ride!

 

[Texascat]

Concrete is poured!

 

[pineywoods]

Even with plumbing stubbed in. I'm looking forward to seeing the progress

A working sink with hot water and drain is epic. I see you are in Indiana. What is your plan for freezing weather?

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.

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?

Kind of like a sewer clean out, but with a valve since the water would be under pressure.

Might also work without an air hose fitting if you kludge it a bit and seal with a wet towel during blow down.
