Thanx guys! It was a lot of work but if I can do it, anyone can. Hardest part was the concrete counters. I crushed up beer bottles and imbedded the glass inside it so it looks pretty cool. I'll be scouring this site for recipes, techniques and pointers.
Here's mine. I built this deck last year it is 16'x24'. Got a weber kettle, uds, couple of chairs and a picnic table. Can you tell my wife likes turquoise? I'll take better pictures when I get the chance.
