    I'm bumping this in hope more people will add their pictures.  Besides a few posters this thread almost died.

    My motives are I'm looking for ideas for a simple shelf with granite tops to hold a medium on one side and a XL on the other.  I'm contemplating a pergola overhead, but that might be scope creap.  However, I've been contemplating putting in some 4x4 posts to hang string lights across the pation anyway, so it might tie in nice to that.

    I've shown this before but you could do something similar to this with granite instead of a stone top like I did. It's simple and my counter here is about 9ft-10ft long.

    Temporary right now.  Just rolled them in the slot on the nests for now.  I have some stainless drawer/shelf combos they will sit on.  The eggs will be a fair bit higher than they sit in the nests.  Similar to a challenger table height.

    Holy outdoor-man-area, Batman! That's a tremendous spot you've got in the making.

    It’s missing something.  Hmmm, what could it be?




    That would have just been obnoxious.  (I tried).

    Smokeware caps and table mates all the way around!  Looks like a sweet spot from here.

    I assume the stripper poles will be going right in the middle?

    Not just a pole.  A full rotating stage.

    That settles it-the horse spa will also serve as the plastic sheets and Mazzola oil party zone.  Wild rides ahead... =)

    Not in your league! But yeah I definitely need to clean the exterior of the L if sitting next to the brand new XL
  • Nice @Boileregger is that a wellspring table?

    No, it is a Challenger.  Torch 76 double to be exact.  
  • I resurfaced our outdoor kitchen over the past few saturdays. It was stucco and tile countertop. We took the stucco and tile top off and laid brick veneer on the sides.  That was a bigger job than I thought.  Waiting on new counter top and then I’ll take some pics. Turned out good for a rookie brick layer.
