Outdoor Kitchen Update

On Wednesday of last week the builders made a preliminary frame of the main bar area. This is the area that is going to house the grill. They were unable to work on it anymore after this point until the pergola arrived.

The blue tarp in the background is protecting the stone (it comes in boxes and they said we could return any unopened boxes! Heck yes!)

The pergola was delivered on Thursday, which had to be unloaded off of the semi-truck by hand (fortunately my grandparents came over to give us a hand). Drew and I spent a large majority of the weekend staining the cedar a dark redwood color. Then on Sunday we moved all the wood again from the garage around to the back patio so the builders could start assembling the pergola.  Which has not yet happened as of Tuesday, but hopefully they will be out here on Wednesday ready to work! [Thanks Ansley for the help Sunday!]

All the cedar in the garage before we started staining it. 

One of the post; partially stained.

Staining the rafters.

I hope to have more updates on the progress by the end of the week! HOPEFULLY.
