From Dream to Reality: Jim’s Outdoor Kitchen Journey

[Old Glory]

Awesome those plans look great!

Following with excitement!

[DavidNorcross]

Wow Jim. Very happy for you!! Looking forward to following this step by step.

[Panhead John]

Congrats Jimbo! I know you’ve been waiting for this to begin for quite a while. Now comes the hard part, hovering over the workers like a mother hen, making sure it’s done like you want…😂 I’m happy for you and am looking forward to seeing the progress!

[Jim White]

I tend to be fairly hands off for the most part. I’ll do most of my inspecting after they leave each day. I have the advantage of working previously with this contractor on a project I managed at our church.

[Jim White]

And, adding on to the above, the church project finished on time and on budget, so I’m optimistic here.

[troymeister]

That is going to be awesome!

[Rob Johnston]

This is going to be fun to watch!

[smokenoob]

Looking forward to the Grand Opening Cook and Florida Meat-up! 😂
(in Hogtown!)

[Jim White]

That just might have to happen.

[hoovarmin]

Let the good times roll! Been waiting for this thread for a long time. The anticipation is going to be brutal, but the final results will be worth the wait. I just might have to take a pilgrimage from Neptune to Gainesville to see this 8th wonder of the world you have planned.

[Jim White]

You are always welcome!

[hoovarmin]

Jim White we will make it happen

[Uncle Bob]

Lookin' forward to seein' progress, plans look sweet and the components you've chosen should produce a high level outcome.

[Bad Hat BBQ]

I thought the "Before" shots were pretty nice...it will be pretty cool to see the final product
Best of Luck and CONGRATS!!

[Clawbear57]

Congrats Uncle Jim I hope it finish ahead of schedule. Looking forward to the reveal.

[Sid P]

Wow Jim, that looks beautiful! Do you host lots of large parties? Good luck with the bureaucrats, that’s always the worst part.

[Jim White]

Yes. We host my wife’s students a couple of times a year as well as various dinners for other groups relating to her job. We tend to host at least one large bbq gathering a year for the church, and as the grandbabies grow I’m thinking there will be times we host youth groups.

[tamidw]

Already a great patio, but looks like it will be awesome once done. Can’t wait to see photos.

[fzxdoc]

I'm going to enjoy this topic, Jim.

Carry on...

Looking GRReat Jim! Don't forget the might as well factor now!, getting rid of that OOh! should have factor later. Thoughts, in floor outlet at table, extra romax at ceiling light for later, then that extra conduit under the concrete to the furthers reach outside wall for later, extra power, gas, or water lines. Looking forward for the finish,
Best of Luck!

[Jim White]

Yes. We will put in conduit for gas for sure. Griddle will run on a small tank at first. In a few years, we will bury a large propane tank (no natural gas in our subdivision) to run a whole house backup generator.

[Allon]

Will there be blasting?!?!?

[Jim White]

No, but there will be jackhammers!

[Allon]

Those jackhammers are pretty cool. Have your ever operated one?

Get jiggly with it...
