Building a BBQ/Bar in my back yard.

What you can do with a computer and a shoebox guitar I can do with my hands. Really I just like to build things.

You just give up and call your friends too?

Only when there is heavy lifting involved.

Here is what i did today. I didn't like the concrete color on the patio but I am to cheap to tear it out or tile it or float it so I just cut grooves in to make it look like tile with a little pattern. I have alot more to do but I am working in sections and I still have to clear coat this one but I am using Acid stain so it is taking some time.

 

[Chris]

One more..... I will get some more pics after I get all the excess acid off and clean it up.

 

[Chris]

I just gave it a good rinse down. I am thinking I may want to add some of the rust color to the star so it doesn't stand out so much, what do you think? I gotta say it looks ten times better in person then it does in these photos.

That looks pretty cool!

I think that I would leave the star alone, personally.

I agree. Looks awesome

I left it, I had some problems with the acid stain not taking in a few areas and giving it a really antiqued look but I think I will be able to fix that.

That is some awesome work Chris!!!

So I installed some rot Iron fencing to my bar/ patio, I will try and snap a pic in a few.

 

[Admin]

That would be cool.

No pics....I guess it didn't happen.

 

[Chris]

I thought I had some on my phone but I don't, I guess we will have to wait til next week.

 

[havasu]

How long are you staying up the hill?

 

[Chris]

Til Monday or Tuesday I think unless I feel like leaving or staying longer.

 

[Chris]

So I am still lazy but here is a pic I just took from my back door of the iron fencing. Not the best picture but you can see how this is slowly coming together.

 

[Admin]

Is it hot under there?

 

[Chris]

Only when it's hot everywhere else. But no not really. I thought it would be like an oven but I can't tell the difference.

 

[Admin]

That's nice. A lot of covering just trap the heat.

 

[Chris]

I am going to be adding a few ceiling fans to help push the air around but I have so many projects and not enough time to do them.
