Here is my Heaven

What started as a way to keep the grandbabies out of danger evolved into this. There's just a single entry and all the kids know to keep out. Sadly, we are planning to move away from it to another state :-(

I have been wanting to build this for a long time, covered porch on exposed aggregate concrete slab. Just to keep my cookers ( and me) protected from weather. I had a week of vacation the 3 rd week of October, and my goal was to get concrete poured. That was accomplished of on a Thursday afternoon. The last Saturday of October I framed posts, beam and rafters, on Sunday November 1st- roof purlins and metal roof. This weekend I added wiring for lights and receptacles, then today put up metal ceiling and roof fascia trim. Sealed the concrete with a brown tinted sealer. After a day to cure I can move the grill, griddle, pellet grill and a stick burner to be available for use more often.

Thanks. Not far from the house, in the garage that this is attached to-a full working kitchen that most of my work with meat and outdoor cooking prep is done.

Built our family happy place over time. Love all the set ups on this channel. Looks like tons of fun all around!

Follow up to my previous post. This is not a holiday tradition I look forward to, but it’s a must to keep me grilling and BBQing all year long. Got my winter cover up just in time. Got 10” overnight. Still counting. Snow picture to follow.

I've been waiting for the moment when my outdoor space is ready to post here. See, we moved in January 2020, and one of the things my wife was really looking for was a house with a covered backyard space with an outdoor kitchen, so we could enjoy our new yard and being outside with the kids year-round. The house we ended up finding didn't have those things, so we built it ourselves (with a handyman we've used before). As with all projects, it was significantly more effort and cost than we expected.

With the kitchen installed









Water and sink waste line come in the back, and propane storage in the corner. There's an electrical line for the fridge and side burner that you don't see.


The rest of the family. When people ask why I put in a griddle instead of a grill, I just point to these and say I already have a grill and smokers.


All together now!
