Surprised no mention of a built-in rotisserie in here??? C'mon...

Whenever my wife asks for a spit roast I just post on kijiji and always find lots of willing helpers.

Hell yeah, i used to be all over the fridge's with the matching cabinet panels but this way is way nicer.

Bump from way back when I was talking about "S-Class and Maybach" fridges, etc.
Finally went to that rich prick's house and he's got one of these, which is just excellent:

But... At the end of the day, I didn't realize you wanted one of those sexy, cabinet-style whatever they're called, so perhaps my suggestion is so useless, it's about a 0.15 on the Zen0ps scale.

I'm going to start getting some updates out, but in the meantime, some fun pics.

I'm doing a large wrap around deck (second story of the walkout). I decided to do it with screw piles (buy once cry once!). I also decided to do some of the main house columns and replace them with screw piles on the recommendation of the engineer. He said being close to the lake may as well. While they were digging around back there, I decided to upgrade the drainage and insulation below grade.

fuck yeah. mechanical details are the best. good call on the insulation. Do you have radiant/hydronic heat in the slab?

yeah, the whole basement is heated by boiler/water lines in the slab.

I wish, no....I am doing an out-door kitchen/bbq area on the current back deck (you can see it in the last picture with stairs going up to it). The new deck is going to wrap around the house and connect to that deck, so I'll have a dining area, a lounging area, and a kitchen area on the deck level.

BBQ still going to be done in the egg.

Those are really dainty screw piles and they only have one helix. They can have four, for example. I don't have any pictures handy.
A shitty EIT and 90% of Structural Engineers would specify something radically bigger than that.
Which is most likely a great sign and not a bad thing, at all! Your shit ain't going nowhere, and you didn't need a fucking Caterpillar floated in on a barge to "screw those piles to refusal".
*Actual term

Engineers said that single helix piles can get under the active freezing part better than larger ones.

I'm not an engineer which is great for everyone most of all me.

Oh yeah. Those will be fine. I'm just saying you're lucky some wiener-hole didn't tell you that you needed 10" piles with multiple helices.

Lots would disagree that you don't need 10"

Should be built out of a corrosion *resistant material. Duplex should be suitable. *my coworkers, probably.


Looking forward to progress. Bet it looks great.

Is a Corrosion Restaurant where Bender from Futurama eats?
Would a Duplex Restaurant be where ExtraSlow eats? Or, would it be one of those more annoying, fusion places that's like Cantonese/Ethiopian or something?
