BKYD BBQ Operations Center

[Purc]

Can't wait to see the finished area.

It reminds me a lot of mine. Our prior patio was concrete and only 8 feet deep. My deck is low to the ground like yours, but is 20 x 32. I built it myself during COVID. I got a small amount of help from Barbara. Hammers not really involved. The whole thing is screwed or bolted together.

Let's Go!

Latest update...Half of the deck boards are down and part of the railing is up...should be 90+% complete by this weekend...

[TripleB]

Are you doing this yourself? Love the old style window shades. We used to have those on our house.

[Alan Brice]

I have several Kim made me take off the man cave. She hates them! you can leave the windows open during a storm. I think they are great!
I put them up on the inside if the three car garage to save from trash. Hate to take to recycle for the price of aluminum.

[BKYDBBQ]

TripleB I am not building it myself. The shades are nice but I am going to have to take the one over the deck off since it is about shoulder level and with the sharp edges someone will end up getting hurt.

[DavidNorcross]

This is going to be fun to watch.

[RonB]

Lookin' good!

[Panhead John]

That’s gonna be nice Chris, congrats!

[Alan Brice]

Great project. Coming along very nicely.

[bardsleyque]

That sure will be nice!!! And yes, I'm jealous too.

[BKYDBBQ]

Updates...deck isn't complete but fully functional...still need the railing to be finished and the stairs built...

Moved the Weber Kettle and PBC and other items today...

[ItsAllGoneToTheDogs]

all my cookers are on the ground still Should finish sanding my deck tomorrow and it's been dry enough I should be able to seal Monday and get everything back up on the deck this week! Still woulda rather expanded to a comparable size of your deck!

[Purc]

Per my experience, I hope you put a grill mat under those cookers to protect that beautiful new deck. My mat has served me well and has many battle scars on it.

[BKYDBBQ]

Purc as I read your comment I looked out the side door and the Amazon fairy has delivered the mat I ordered. I got one to see how the size works and then I'll get a couple of them.

[DavidNorcross]

Looking great!

[RonB]

Congrats on a functional deck Chris!

[hoovarmin]

Now we're in business!

[Whiskeyman53]

Looks great, time to fire up the grill.

[BKYDBBQ]

No pictures (evidence)...Had the first impromptu deck party tonight...the deck is 95+% complete (all that is left is to finish the stairs and gate) so my contractor and I were having adult beverages this evening when other friends showed up...can't think of a better way to "christen" the new deck...

I will post completed pictures in the near future, might have to wait until this weekends Nor'easter has left the area...

So pleased with the end results

[ItsAllGoneToTheDogs]

what's better than extreme cooking on an extreme new cooking area? Finally got the MAK back up on my deck today so all the cookers are back in play, the only one I trust in the wind is the pellet grill though and not sure I really have anything I want to cook, but we'll see!

So cool that you got to host already!
