Awesome! Can't get better than the Hardiebacker boards. That's what I used on my build. :thumb:

Here are a couple shots of my "cook shed"

Can't remember if I've updated mine so here it is.

Old:


New is much more protected from wind and rain. Its tucked into a corner surrounded by fence, shed & my house. I also have 2 of the mobile wood winerack/tables but only one pictured. If I need to I can also put out my adjustable height plastic table. The one above is flimsy in comparison.





I now have a sand table for the kids in the old location.

I love this thread so wanted to bump it. I can acess my new spot right out my garage side door which is nice.

Wow. 37 pages. That's impressive. Lots of great ideas here.

Nice

But watch out for the backer boards wicking up moisture.

I put air vents on the sides to get some air circulation going. In just short of 4 years I haven't had any problems with it. I usually do check to make sure.

This is my solution until I come up with a more permanent covering.

ssv3, did you find the build pictures yet? I am interested in seeing how you built it!

I have read and drooled over every post on this thread! I'm speechless....

I did. I haven't had time to post them. I will post it either tonight or tomorrow night. Stay tuned!!!

As requested by OIFMARINE here are the pics of my build of the outdoor kitchen. I don't have too many detailed pics since we had the "STATION FIRE" back in '09 in the L.A. foothills which almost burned the whole neighborhood down.

Here it goes:

This is right after I had the frame put in :shock:






This is what it looked like for about three weeks straight (no kidding)













Yes! This farking close







Anyway back to the build. I know how much everyone loves pics so I got carried away.

Back to business

I put the boards on

Also, I elevated the frame to allow water to run underneath the whole fixture since my property is on a slope and I can't have standing water around it. I also have the option to detach the whole kitchen from the ground if I have to since I elevated it and its bolted down. I can take it anywhere with me :icon_smile_tongue: with the help of a crane and a semi. Only if I have to:wink:





Me good buddies gave me some insight, equipment and some help and I went from there. I got some of the best friends in the world.



I put some lights inside the island as well for illumination at night hence all the wiring. Sorry didn't snap pics.



In goes the sound system. Amps, subs and all with marine speakers for all weather music:mrgreen: . My bro is the expert for that.







It's slowly coming together.



Testing to make sure all is perfect as far as sounds go.



Time to hang the doors and slap on the facia.









This is pretty much all the pics of the build because I had to get to work and finish my project instead of taking pics. :mrgreen:

And of course the finished product after the mess and the fires and all.




Time for a cold one and well deserved.



90% of the work completed by me/my bro but a huge help/advise from my friends, lending me equipment including their trucks to haul tons of supplies etc. etc. I couldnt have done it w/out them and you just don't wake up and have friends like that overnight. Don't want to repeat myself but I'm truly blessed to have them and this was truly a collaboration.

Wow, that's an awesome, inspiring set up. Very well done, you should be proud.

Great job!

very nice!!

Very nice build.
Is that a refrigerator at the end or a dishwasher?
jon

And how does that with the tap exactly work?

Thanks Jon

It's a refrigerator/kegerator. I pull it out when I bring kegs for parties. I didn't want to have it stationary because the weather will screw up the tap/faucet gaskets.

love this thread. my slice of heaven.
