re: Can we just have an old fashion IM thread?

Todays job. My outdoor kitchen came in on Thursday last week and I hired some guys to come out today and un-crate it and carry it around to the lanai. The panels are solid concrete and the countertops are granite so it’s heavy as hell.

I managed to get the pieces in place by myself and get it all screwed together. The last countertop is 84” x 40 something inches and it weighs over 400 pounds. We’ll have to get someone to help me put that up there.

All I have left to do is to put the trim pieces do a little shimming, install the last countertop, then put the appliances in which are fairly easy. Probably finish on Thursday.


I bought this system as a modular system and it is awesome. It is incredibly solid, but it is heavy as hell and I’m too fricking old to be moving those panels around and doing it by myself. Will take me a few days to recover. Should have it up and running this weekend and making some smash burgers one day on the griddle and smoking some ribs on the pellet smoker the next. Been a long time waiting for this.
