i have lived in my house for 15 years and never really had a good outdoor area but i made do with what i had. With covid lockdown and spending a lot more time at home the past 3 years it really bugged me so i finally decided this year i was going to make the area what i wanted otherwise i would sell up.
I started the journey in April getting quotes and design ideas (i knew what i wanted but struggled to communicate it). Eventually they understood what i wanted then proceeded to tell me it was crap and wouldn't work, they came up with a better practical solution so i gave the approval.
Everything had to be sent off to design, engineering then council for certification and approval. Was told this should take 4-6 weeks, took 14
Will be an insulated flyover roof with an L shaped bar (polished concrete) to accommodate gas bbq, teppanyaki hot plate, prep bench, kitchen sink, dish washer, 3 tap kegerator and gozney dome pizza oven.
Area will be enclosed with outdoor roller shade blinds.
Works finally started 2 weeks ago with the site preparation, plumbing / electrical, pest and new slab being poured.
Materials are being delivered to site this Friday with works to start on Monday on the structure. Kitchen to be bricked the week after.
Super excited.
