Wow!! That sure is impressive work there, Dave!

Did they invite you and the crew out for the celebration cook-out?

Very nice design with top-notch appliances, for sure.

Great work!

Wayne

Good job, DaveO.

I like the way you used the available space and the awning is really cool. The 28k tag puts it well beyond my reach.

I'm thinking gas grill with a large beach umbrella for my outdoor kitchen!!

The finished project looks nice and I bet it looks better in person.

It was supposed to be stone veneered both on the kitchen and patio, but that sent the costs way over the budget. The stucco and stamped concrete dropped the costs around $4k. We got the Fire Magic equipment from R. Peterson, but there is a good supplier in Goldsboro.

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

As a grilling enthusiast I'd love to see one of those in my back yard. At a price tag of $28k I can't say I'll be calling you anytime soon. Great looking work anyway Dave.
How is she going to keep the spiders and other critters out of it?
I just had to evict a huge spider from my smoker before slow cooking some ribs.

That's awesome Dave. For what they got, I'd say they got a good deal. They pretty much have a whole other kitchen now . I would think about expanding my cooking area outside, but I'm not sure how it would be done for me since my cooking and sitting area is on a deck/porch.

WOW, very nice indeed!

And here I was standing under an umbrella grilling burgers and dogs for the kids and LOML last night when I could've been under something like that!!!!
