tony b Posted March 23, 2020 Report Posted March 23, 2020 Projects are moving along nicely! Thanks for the pictures. 2 Quote
Basher Posted March 23, 2020 Report Posted March 23, 2020 Wow, did you mix it in the pool? You are going to love the reduction of dust and dirt being dragged around the house. How much concrete did you end up pouring? It looks like plenty. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
jonj Posted March 24, 2020 Report Posted March 24, 2020 You are going to have a great entertainment area! I like the photos showing the whole area. Nice decking around the pool for contrast (and a little cooler on the bare feet on hot days). Very nice! 1 Quote
Troble Posted March 25, 2020 Author Report Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) @jonj thank you! It’s been a long time coming they did some cool texturing to the concrete today turned out awesome Edited March 25, 2020 by Troble 7 Quote
Tyrus Posted March 25, 2020 Report Posted March 25, 2020 That's looking pretty nice, you must be thinking who lives here, I don't recognize this place. Non slip surface, how is it on bare feet? 1 Quote

I typically grow tomatoes (cherry varieties do well in containers), chile peppers, and a variety of herbs - chives, basil, thyme, rosemary - occasionally, sage, mint, or tarragon - whatever you like to cook with. 4 Quote
Troble Posted March 28, 2020 Author Report Posted March 28, 2020 @tony b yep I’m definitely doing herbs. Rosemary, thyme, basil for sure. Also going to do some form of tomatoes we eat a lot of cherries so that’s possible, maybe some red or yellow peppers. Outside that everything else is up in the air 4 Quote
Troble Posted April 1, 2020 Author Report Posted April 1, 2020 The KK has assumed its final resting spot. I took a picture of the view from my couch living room. The KK stands out and shines. Need to figure out a better way to anchor the wheels but I can’t wait for my first cook this Friday.....ribs 5 Quote

Put the fridge in and slap some paint in there and it’ll be done. I sincerely appreciate all your help on this and appreciate the insight you provided. Thank you very much. 2 Quote
jonj Posted April 1, 2020 Report Posted April 1, 2020 Looking great! Regarding the wheel chocks, does your KK move / roll when you open the dome or otherwise use it? Just curious with the greater weight of a 32 versus my 23, which doesn't move unless pushed. Is your patio sloped to shed rain? 1 Quote

Is your patio sloped to shed rain? @jonj it rolls a bit if you push/lean on it not much but I just ordered some bed frame stoppers from Amazon that BigShep turned me onto so I’m sure that’ll work. Where I had it temporarily was a bit sloped concrete much more than the current spot so that could’ve been part of it as well. I have my first cook in the final spot tomorrow thanks again @BIGSHEP coming out strong! Edited April 3, 2020 by Troble 1 Quote
