That looks great! My wife is doing similar but she’s put it on hold for the winter. I gently told her she should probably seal the wood before calling it quits but she didn’t listen. Oh well, I’m not dying on that hill!

    I'm treating it with linseedoil which can be used till nearly freezing point (some say even below, it just takes longer for the wood to absorb it, but I have my doubts about that claim)

    22mm thick boards normaly used on the outside of houses (G4-2 quality). The top will be coated with epoxy whis makes it harder and water resistant. Unusual I know. Did it on my workbench in the garage and works quite well

    What is that thing the grill is resting on?

    I though this was going to be one of those weird ass saunas that people abroad who don't quite know what they're doing build.

    Amazing. I have a (not really) porchetta planned for Christmas Day. Had a bit of a panic when I couldn’t find the motor for my rotisserie but the wife saved that day.

    Doing a clean burn right now after weeks of wet weather to clear out the pipes and remove the mold!
