Nothing to do with the bbq structure wise, just allows storage and prep area. I am unsure what is the best course of action here, as the frame around the bbq is not attached, the bbq breaking from the back, which has made the grease to pour out and catch fire at the time, according to my mum...

Pictures don’t really show how everything went together or how far away from the shed it actually is, well now it’s closer as bolts broke… it doesn’t look square in the pictures here. But the first picture shows or at least hope it shows that the bbq is completely off the floor on the left...

Hello i was going to install armoured cable from my kitchen (hard wired) to my outdoor mini work area. I am now thinking of just using a regular uk 3 pin plug to the empty socket in my kitchen so we can easily stop power as it’s only going to be needed every so often. This should be okay right...

Hello so, in March 2021, one of my then 5 cats died. Just woke up to find him dead on my seat in the litter room. I love cooking spit roasts on my bbq, but didn’t have the room to prepare, cook and let rest, so I decided to build a kitchen bbq area, where I could store the gas bottles. And my...
