We love cooking, grilling, and barbecuing (all very different styles of cooking) outside, so what better to add to our backyard than an outdoor kitchen! We truly stole the idea from our neighbors to the right, not the ones on the left (who have very little interest in outdoor anything), and took off running.
We asked for some assistance from their masons to get us started (two very crafty and smart Portuguese men) and the outside walls were created. After the walls were up, we then had to decide on how we would build the inside walls, and create the places the grill, the burners, sink, and refrigerator would eventually be housed. With those walls in place, we then framed out the countertop, and poured it. (All cement...Big job...Well worth it)
At this point in the project we are adding the stone facing to the walls, and in two weeks (approximately) we should be tiling the countertop with tile slate tiles. After which the appliances are place, the water and electric are hooked up, and the project should be completed!
Adding a kitchen to our outside world only makes it more special. My outdoor living space seems complete. (until I get another project going!)
