  • Re: Eric's WFO build

    Looks great Eric. The tile counter is beautiful. You're doing a great job on the whole outdoor kitchen. Can't wait to see the doors on.

      Thanks for the kind words Mike and Dino. Really glad I am done digging trenches for conduit and pipe.

          Eric - +1 on the countertops. You have me thinking about tile now. I've been vacillating between stone, tile, and home-made concrete counter tops. Since I already have the concrete sides, tiles would probably be the cheapest and quickest.

          Where did you get your tiles from? Specifically the edge tiles with rounded sides seem like it might be hard to find at Home Depot/Lowes. Did you so anything special in terms of sealing the grout to protect it from the weather?

          Nice work and good luck wrapping up the rest of the project.

            Thanks for the compliments. I got the tile from Arizona Tile, its a cobalt blue porcelain. The edge is just bull nose, I priced the V cap edges but it would have doubled the price of the project. I am sealing the grout with silicone grout sealer. One thing that I didn't think of and someone told me after it was done: for outdoor tile counter tops, build in a small amount of slope so rain will not pool.A very small slope should be adequate. It shouldn't be a big problem in San Diego, but definitely something to consider in Seattle. Also I used Hardie backer over 3/4" marine plywood for the counter, in Seattle you might be better off with a mortar bed for the under the tile.
            Thanks for the kind words, good luck. By the way the party looked like a great time Todd.

                Inner arch completed.
                After a dismal failure on the first attempt, the second try was successful. The first time I didn't pay close attention to the size of the gaps and hadn't marked the form so when we got to the top there was only room for a 3/4" keystone. The addition of the radial arm ( my father in laws idea) to keep everything lined up as we went and it went together easy-breezy. That feels good!!

                HELLO ERIC
                GREAT JOB ON THE ARCH, I JUST STARTED MY WFO AND I WAS WONDERING WHAT FUNCTION DOES THE RADIAL ARM DO IN YOUR ARCH TEMPLATE, HOW IS IT USED?
                THANKS
