    Screw my idea. Go with @DoubleEgger s idea.

    Or for fancy parties I can always come by and hand pour.

    Ron when I was in college we had a kegerator on the front porch but kids kept trying to steal it. So we put it in the living room and ran a tap line through the wall. We could take the head off when we weren't using it so nobody could just walk up and pour beer. 

    Now, I'm sure you're going to want to have a much classier set up, but you could do the same thing with a couple of different bottles of wine and set them up on a pour tap. (Obviously this one is for beer but as you know they make them for wines as well. And leave you more space outside. (Then you can take the tap heads off when the kids and their friends come home!)
    Then you could just cabinet in a small cheap fridge. My dad kept one on a carport in Tennessee by the lake and that thing lasted at least a decade. 
    This has potential. I have a friend that has his plumbed into his home, by the guy that does all the plumbing for the micro breweries. One helluva set up.

    We have a slushie machine already, not quite as elaborate, but seriously gets the job done. Add to that a Jimmie Buffet full blown Margarita machine, we should be doing ok.

    To have something of that capacity around me, the next time you see my name it would be in the obituaries

    Classic event at a classy event.

    This is why I do not need a standing bourbon slushie machine. Brain freeze and eventual death are the two main reasons, thus far.

    If only @nolaegghead had thrown the oil on the fire when that was going on......where the flames reached 40 feet.......

    Well, there is always next year.

    You should try it first, then let me know how it works out, You convince My Beautiful Wife, and I will have one here, exclusively, just for your use. Everyone else will be entitled to our indoor facilities, for #1. While they are indoors, they can pick out the next bottle of wine.

    This thread interests me greatly. I've been pondering an outdoor area. First, I must make some friends, then I'll either have to move or rebuild because Amy is about to burn our current house down to rid it of ants. Then I will build my outdoor entertaining space for my new friends.

    I hope that's a drain, and not a furnace vent.   :|

    Here’s the inside of The shed.  Nothing all that spectacular, but it works.

    Thank you for sharing. After working on the budget a little bit for this project, I am leaning the opposite direction from My Beautiful Wife, with her budget, I can get a few bags of Rockwood, my budget, while not quite the Taj Mahal, has a slightly higher linear projection (approx 180 degrees in angle).

    @thetrim do you want skunks? Because this is how you get skunks.
