Great job @Steve M! Looks like there's a few thousand hours of fun to be had there. Can't wait to see a night pic with the lights and IR heaters on with smoke pouring out of your KK.

Looks like you and your guests will be extra comfy sitting beneath that structure. Built to entertain.  Hey Bruce, I think that's the new outdoor Alexa... you say, play me some smooth jazz Evo and VOILA.

Funny you mention it-the round grill that looks like a speaker is an echo dot for that purpose. It is connected directly to the whole house audio. It can play amazon music as well as SiriusXM.

I was able to finally get the komodo up on the deck. I built a ramp out of 3/4" plywood and some 2x8's. Somehow, me and my daughter were able to get the wheels over the lip and then it was a fairly easy roll up the ramp.

Here it is rolled into place. The stone work is nearly finished. My contractor got to a bit of tricky area where the width of the cement board was pretty thin and wasn't sure how to proceed. I think we have a plan and he should finish next week.

After that, the only thing left is the backsplash and trim around the barstool side of the bar. I'm using ipe which is really good for outdoor use. I decided to have some fun with it and here is a small piece and beginning of an inlay that I did this morning. Bonus points if you can tell what it is.

Is it Nellie in Loch Ness, or an elephant, or maybe Austrailia by a bad artistist. Jack the Ripper left handed  with no fingers. Buddah?  It's blue, correct?  I will study this after my next brewski, obviously it's a lake on board.
