MacKenzie Posted December 4, 2016 Report Posted December 4, 2016 Now is when a covered ODK would help.
billg71 Posted December 4, 2016 Author Report Posted December 4, 2016 A roof over the patio is definitely on the list of home improvements for next year! But it'll have to be after I finish all the little things still to do from this year's projects...
MacKenzie Posted December 4, 2016 Report Posted December 4, 2016 Sounds great, Bill, yes, it is best to finish projects started before getting into a new one.:)

tony b Posted December 4, 2016 Report Posted December 4, 2016 Glad I cooked yesterday, today would not be so nice. First snow of the season. It's already 4+ inches and still snowing. Will probably end up well over 6" today. Nice to have a cover for your KK in this kind of weather. But, it is pretty and I have no place in particular to go today!
MacKenzie Posted December 4, 2016 Report Posted December 4, 2016 Tony, it sure looks pretty. We have had several snow falls already, Already used the snow blower on the deck 4 times at least the last 2 were the nice light fluffy stuff. The first two were the wettest snow you'd ever want to see. :(
Steve M Posted December 4, 2016 Report Posted December 4, 2016 i don't know why but snow makes me want to fire up the grill. I'm looking forward to some nice beef stews this winter on the kk for the first time

All the minor details that you put off in the build come back to bite you in the nether regions at the end. But those minor details make the difference between an OK job and a great job. 1

My problem is me or Mrs skreef keep adding ideas to the projects so they never really end.
Aussie Ora Posted December 5, 2016 Report Posted December 5, 2016 It's great to have a covered area don't get me started on projects lol best to just stick with one until it's finished Sent from my SM-P600 using Tapatalk

Cold front coming through this week to drop temps into the teens (F) at night. High on Thursday will only be 23F that would be MINUS 6C for you folks down under and across the northern border. 1
tinyfish Posted December 5, 2016 Report Posted December 5, 2016 I just moved my KK's under my gazebo for the winter. Waiting on a custom tarp to block some of the north wind.

tony b Posted December 6, 2016 Report Posted December 6, 2016 I just bought 6 bags of Royal Oak today, so I'm cooking whenever possible through the winter, as usual! I only wuss when it's negative temps (below zero F or - 18C) either static or windchill. I'll cook in the snow, but only if it's not sub-arctic temps. 1
mguerra Posted December 6, 2016 Report Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) It's cold in Kerrville today, but not Iowa cold! I'll grill some Hebrew National dogs and drink some '96 Pontet Canet. Edited December 6, 2016 by mguerra 1
MacKenzie Posted December 6, 2016 Report Posted December 6, 2016 mguerra, I can see you are suffering but I know you can do it. Don't forget the pixs.
