The Extra Ceiling Tin....Our Outdoor Grill!



We have not completely finished our Outdoor Grill but I couldn't wait to show you what we did with the extra ceiling tin we had from the breakfast ceiling room! A big thanks to my husband who spent many, many hours building this! I also wanted to let you know that my MIL and I planted a Yellow Ladybird climbing rose that will grow over the pergola in time and I have purchased some small round clear lights from Target to hang from the top of the pergola.
The grill was built on a concrete platform that we had poured when we built the house. My husband then used concrete blocks with concrete to build the base. He then made the pergola out of cedar wood, cutting each one individually. The sink and grill were then placed and we rented a concrete machine and begin pouring it which was almost a disaster because it began raining!! We covered it with plastic an it turned out fine, thank goodness. He then stained the concrete with concrete stain. We now have to put the cabinet doors on the front and the lights up but for now...well, I've got to head out and turn on the grill, it's a great night for cooking out!

  9. Hi Jena, nice to meet you! I have spent time visiting with you and admiring your home while I have sipped my coffee this morning. Your kitchen is so pretty as well as your home, and what a fun place to create memories. Your husband work is awesome as well. Your outdoor kitchen and outdoor dining area is a favorite. I love that farmhouse table. Wherever did you find such a wonderful table? I have rattled on enough, just wanted you to know that I enjoyed my visit very much and will be back. BTW..is I just see that you are being blessed with a addition to the family. if so, CONGRATS! Love when God's blessings are in the sound of patter of the feet. :)
    Hugs!
