re: building a shower/tub deck and an outdoor kitchen (pix)

real good actually

had lacox come out and install a 120gal propane tank for the carport, big upgrade to the bottles. i ran 3/4" pipe to the water heater and cooking appliances

deck furniture came in, assembled last night. i went with a polywood sectional and its really really nice. added another shower fixture in the shower so now its a full body wash. also i wasnt getting the btu's out of the heater with the small bottle and hose, now we have a fully operational situation.

picked up some birds of paradise plants for the deck, planted some wildflowers, did a bunch of decorating inside the carport, and we've done several big meals in there since. soon as this weather straightens out i hope to stain and seal the deck and we will be done

the horizontal pex lines under the deck did freeze, but nothing split or broke

i'll take some pix this weekend

here ya go

everything is done except sealing the deck, hope to do that during this stretch of dry weather.

we held a little smudging ceremony to christen the new spaces and celebrate what a massive improvement this has made in our living space. outdoor living is the best living



heres the carport/kitchen/dining area, fully plumbed for propane at all appliances from a 120gal tank

















heres the deck

what kind of amateur hour shite is this haha

Are those ties on the floor joist enough to hold the weight of 2 full bathtubs?

Just seems like you would need something beefier to support all that.

I've read this entire thread and I still have no idea what's going on

Why are you being such a douchebag? If it makes him happy, that's all that matters. Unless you are going to pay for it.

As a fellow man that loves to sit in a vessel of hot water, outside, naked. I salute you.

Carry on good sir. Might I suggest a TV to watch some sports while getting your soak on.
