Drinks Anyone?

  Now that the second lounge chair is drawing to a close, still have a third to make, but it's all downhill from here, it's time to start drawing up plans for the largest project to date, JB's Outdoor built in Kitchen/Bar/Man Cave. I plan to be completed by Father's Day and I feel I'm qualified to build this because I've logged more than 1,000 hours watching the DIY network! 
This year, when we go to the LA County Fair, JB won't have to dream of the bars they've got set up there, he'll have his very own!
  I'm not talking expanded grill trolley, or a freestanding grill and table with an ice chest, no something more like these....

I love the layout of this one, but ours will need an L shape somewhere

I like the roof and the shake shingles, since JB's from Boston, I'm looking for a Pubby feel..oh and the Boston B will have to go somewhere

this is a nice setup

This has the perfect shape for our pool area


like the feel of this one. The roof, the L shaped eating area. NICE!


I'll need to draw up some plans. Right about now, I wish I could google sketchup,, but will probably just use the old pencil and paper....


Wish list:
1 I know that I'll need electrical done out there. No lights whatsover as it is. Luckily, Randy, a family friend, did my Koi pond electical, and so far so good. I'll be hiring him.
2 Would like water out there as well for a small sink. JB does a lot of grilling, and it would be great to have 
   a small sink to wash his hands in.
3 Drop in grill, hasn't made up his mind about natural gas vs propane.
4. Outdoor Fridge just a tiny one.
5. Drawers for utensils, bar rags, etc. Things that we don't want chewed up in case the dogs get in
6. Outdoor Lucite Television, visible from inner bar area and the pool. That way JB won't miss a minute of
     His sports, but there will be NO NASCAR! I repeat Steve, NO NASCAR!
7. Bar Stools handmade by me.

Updates will be coming, and I'll also blog along the way, in case there's another wife crazy enough to build an outdoor bar/kitchen herself!
