Utah Build
A bit of introduction is in order, I suppose: My name is Greg (Hi, Greg), and I'm,... an eccentric. I seem to progress from unusual hobby to unusual hobby, and I'm still not sure if I'm way ahead of the curve or just a bona fide nut job; actually, I don't really care, I'm having fun!
At first, I decided to barbeque and I now use a 400 lb. ceramic grill, a Kamado. Functional lawn art. Makes great food. Neighbors raise eyebrows.
Then, I decided that I wanted to camp without the hassle of tents; so I'm building a 50's style teardrop trailer. Neighbors looking distinctly nervous.
Now, I've started to build a 42" Pompeii after going to the FB open house and will probably build another one on a trailer. Neighbors now openly patting my wife on the arm and making twirly, twirly motions at their temples.
I have, however, learned when-to-say-when and have promoted myself from head cook and dishwasher on this project, to project manager. Since the beginning of the teardrop project, 5 years ago, we have adopted 2 children, Max 3, and Ben 10 months. Now comes the tricky part, we are adopting 2 more this summer, one in July and one in September. Yup, do the math, that is 3 kids about or less than a year old. AT ONCE! Perhaps the twirly, twirly motions have some basis in reality. Regardless, if I don't build the darn thing now, you know it will be YEARS before it gets built. So, I am getting help. This Sketchup render is a 5 minute quick and dirty estimate of what the cooking island is going to look like. I'll have some actual pics of the work in progress soon.
