Easy Outdoor Kitchen DIY with Built in Weber Propane Grill, GMG Daniel Boone, and Concrete Counters

what's up guys kitten here today we're gonna turn this empty space that kind of lumber and some other things and those two grills into this try to keep up [Music] all right to kick things off here we're just taking a quick look at the back side of the house and where I'm trying to lay this thing out and then gonna grab some quick measurements lucky for y'all there's no plumber crack in this whole video just a little bit of my backside so this first piece was just under five inches long I think it measured right at 59 and 3/4 inches I'm just getting that measurement and then the width I want it which was 23 inches for the frame to give me a 24 inch counter and here we are building that first back wall so the wall itself pretty level left to right so all of the studs were cut to the same length and then just screwed top and bottom using treated wood here for the floor because it is outdoors it's gonna get wet that's really all to note there just screw it all together and then mount it up make sure it's plumb attach this thing you might wonder tapcon 5/16 inch by 3 inch just drill a hole in the ground quarter inch wide and bolt them down nothing to move it'll be great moving from there through the quarter inch hole bolt in town from that more framework every board going from here had to be cut individually because it runs downhill so something to note use a level be smart about it there we go first cabinet is complete let's check it out I've got it framed out for a 30-inch door so that's that box there and we're gonna move on to the next one so again treated lumber for the floor gonna do the same thing I laid out the boards where I wanted them made sure they were nice and square put in my first stud and then work my way down here you see me just putting up a brace stud gonna make sure it's level and then I got the straightest board I had marked it cut it and then I'm settin it level because every stud going down this run has to be cut individually there's about a four and a half inch drop from start to bottom so that's why I did that so use a level if you have uneven ground and go from there would be really nice if it was nice and even ground you could just build a wall and it up so cut a board market plumb and level and go notice here I use a two by six in the back the reason I did that is so when I built out the frame for where my GMG Daniel Boone's gonna sit I wanted a nice plate for the countertop to sit on so I used a six inch base board there and then the top of that frame will also be a six inch wide so that the concrete has something to sit on and just more the same so the last thirty nine inches here will be the base for the Green Mountain grill Daniel Boone that I have pellet smoker so going through making sure everything is plumb making sure everything is squared then I can take off that scab piece that I put up just to hold my board in Eisen level and now I'm doing the same exact process on the front side so simple there only thing I'm doing with my stud layout it's not like a 16 inch on center so I'm setting everything out where I know I want my doors my doors were fourteen by twenty sunstones which required a 14 and a quarter wide and then eighteen or twenty eight and a half was the Weber so there's an opening there for that day too still nasty wet cold but we're making progress so here we have the oh where the grills gonna go it's gonna sit on the bottom I'll cut this top plate off frame out some doors there frame out a door there get this framed out for my Daniel Boone to sit on and then we'll get going de rock and go up I've decided if I'm gonna do wood paneling or brick yet to match the house but we'll figure that out later let's get started and here I'm just framing out the back for the same height as I have the front there this is so the Weber handle will sit at 36 and a half inches which is a comfortable height for me now I'm just cutting that top plate off do the same in the back and then I could put the web Ram so update this fly here with a 2x6 in the back the reason I did that is so I'd have a lip to put the counter top bone when I got it done but I just found a problem one of those cut twice measure one's kind of things that I normally do so my Daniel Boone is a little wider than I wanted it to be so I'm gonna cut all of this out reframe the bottom 20 inches in two by six steel but the top rather than being two by four will be 2 by 3 metal gives me just enough space to get the grille on there and get everything done so here goes to the back so now we're just starting that framing on the GM G so the deung a boon I wanted again the handle to be roughly level and parallel with the Weber so I think that was 16 inches from the handle to the base of the GM G there me framing out the backside in that 2x6 wall like I said and then I put a 2 by 3 wall up to give me just a back wall that looks clean is it necessary no but I liked it it also gave me a place to add the electrical boom basic framing done all the doors are framed so good to go got to do the one framing in the top with the two by threes and then we should be ready for some de rock and some finish back to the time-lapse girls mounted if you have a friend get one is that something to do alone oh no so just take off all the side pieces the wings are off for this particular Webber this is the genisis too so I had to unmount some things so what I'm gonna do here this mounted on a panel that went around the propane tank so I'm gonna wind up just mounting it to the wood here on the inside to actually attach the grill going to drill a half inch hole in this outside leg and then a small pilot hole on the inside and then put a screw straight through into the wood on all four corners and that should attach it so back to the time-lapse here we go so just as I said you see the half inch hole and then on the inside was a pilot hole and standard decking screw to hold everything in did that on all four corners grills mounted that's positive I also got the outlet boxes mounted so what I'm gonna do here is I have three plugs to or just to have four accessories and then ones for my smoker but I'm gonna put an extension plate on this factory factory plug this house plug and then off of it I'll move the GFCI to this outdoor plug and then wire all those other plugs in so I should be the code and legit back to the time lapse so I am gonna fix this but caveat with this whole project I'm not an electrical engineer I'm not a framer I'm making all this up as I go so take it as you want it works for me I hope it works for you I got some cedar put up I know I skipped it but I'll show you how it did it on the backside more importantly I've quickly realized because it gets way too wet under here that the Electrify installed isn't the right stuff which is standard house outlets even though I got weatherproof faces the box themselves ain't gonna be where the proof so I'm gonna replace those with some metal sealed boxes conduit stay with me all the time lapse as promised here's me removing the old boxes and old wiring and getting ready to redo it so stay with me because I already got this hole cut for its standard I don't know where I went standard blue electrical box but new outdoor where the box is much bigger I'm going on the back side trace this thing out like so with a pencil I mean one of these fancy oscillating multi-tool guys to cut that new hole out mount the other two boxes should be good to go from there as I said use your new outlet trace it and then I had a multi-tool to cut this you could do it with a jigsaw you could do it with a coping saw plenty of ways to make this cut happen just cut it out and I did this for all three [Music] all right neighbors mourners grasses windy like crazy but it's showing the short I did here so I just made a block that made my outdoor outlet stand about three-quarters of an inch proud so it would sit flush with my trim just like I did over here so we'll go back to the time lapse and voiceover to talk about how I'm gonna wire everything up so I used half inch liquid tight conduit and it's got a threaded connector goes into the box and then I used clamps to hold the conduit in place every 12 inches or so once again I've done horrible about documenting how to put all the paneling up but pretty simple I take a piece of my wood I place it up I scribe a line sorry about that I scribe a line on the edge on the bottom and then I marked the Inglot which I want to cut it and I just start hacking away at it and that's what got me caught up with it so I started going and going and going and I got to where I'm at so try to time-lapse this together she ought to see it so I cut miters for this one I traced out the box on the back side and then cut it out just like I did before nailed it up and kept working my way down so it's all there is to it hopefully from that time lapse y'all got to figure out what I was doing there apologize for the on and off and back and forth again measurements for tricky anyways let's who wants Santa here we can see that this is a socket tester and lights are all off that means the powers been shut off which I did from the breaker box now we're gonna pull this plug add a some kind of cover that's got a liquid tight seal on it and then tie it into this outlet so here we go with that so that's exactly what I did I pulled that old GFI out extending my wires into the first box and added a new weather resistant GFCI and then these other two plugs are just weather resistant receptacles with a weather resistant faceplate on them that's all there was to that again I'm not an electrician so don't take my advice word if you're not comfortable this type of work hire a professional of no here because it's not captured later in the video I added a vent on the bottom of the back side and this inside because I am using a propane system if you were using natural gas you would want your event to be at the top stainless is ready to go in we just got to cut out the paneling now that it's all done so here's how I'm gonna do that where all of my doors are I've drilled a one inch hole and that is so the router with a flush trim bit notice it has a bearing on top that's gonna ride on the wood frame that I put on the inside and then it should cut out perfectly smooth all the way around so I'll stick this bit in those holes and I'll just trace it out so you make a good clean cut how video first one more time a strips and here's me attempting that flush trim so flush trim bits are awesome and they work really well as we're gonna see here in a second my bearing comes off in the middle of this and nothing I can really do about it I didn't have a spare I was hoping I did here's me using a router wrong routers are meant to go one way and I don't really remember what way it was while I was doing this so should be left to right and then when you're own a router table upside down you would go right to left if you were using wood but that's neither here nor there so I'm cutting this out I lose the bit and then I improvise for the rest of them as well see later in the video if you got a flush trim bit though it makes short work of things and they are awesome stay with me you so unfortunately I got about half a video of you ought to watch of me using that flush trim bit because it broke the bearing popped off I couldn't find it and because it is damn coronavirus Home Depot's closed so I've been making it work with a sawzall a circular saw the battery-powered circular saw this sucks Porter Cable tools but they're battery-powered circular saw sucks like big-time sucks it's basically useless anyways I've been hacking away at this this is kind of where we're looking one more to go and we'll see some stainless steel Suns going down I'm getting tired but I want these doors mounted so holes are cut as you can see two coats of stain I don't really match the rest of my wood yet but the other wood is old and weathered so hopefully to catch up eventually if not let me go a little darker figure that out later but stainless steel doors and drawers from Home Depot I'm gonna get a mounted try to take a video what I do it's pretty easy got an inside flange you just run a screw through it time lapse coming so as I said all of my stainless came from a company called Sunstone they're carried by Home Depot had to order online but on the inside of every door there is an inch and a half flange and it is pre-drilled four screws so you just mount the doors and screw them in the cabinet a little more difficult especially when doing by yourself so again having a friend helps but you just guide it into place slide it black and then just like the doors there is a flange on the inside with a hole just put a screw in it that's all there is to it so the doors are all reversible so if you notice the one on the right here then the video is facing handle to the left the one in the middle is facing handle to the right all you do is turn it over the drawers themselves are all soft closed which is awesome so I got three drawers on one side and then the right there is either a trash can or a propane tank holder I'm using it as a trashcan as my propane tanks behind that other door and then mounting handles are very simple my inside every drawer or door is a handle with two screws you run the screw through the backside and then tighten down here I suggest using a screwdriver rather than a drill so you don't over tighten which could either dent your stainless or strip out your handle other than that pretty simple installed there don't judge my shop it's super messy anyways I got some molds cuz I'm gonna do concrete countertops sorry I didn't record how did these but they are nonetheless go check out Michael builds on YouTube I basically just followed what he said and built some mold so here's the first two and then obviously I got the big one left we'll see what they look like when I'm done here I am not showing you how I installed counters again but essentially I just picked those heavy things up by myself and walked them over the bigger one I had to will over there and then push in place because it was about 350 pounds but there they are nice and mounted so sorry didn't show the countertops getting lifted and set into place right now they're just sitting here under their own weight because they're heavy as Hale and that's why I didn't record it I got in the move to move them and it took everything I had and I just didn't really think about doing anything other than get them set up so here they are which is awesome and they're in place let's go into some b-roll [Music] questions I've had about where the grease trap was online from the couple pictures I posted so all I did was and that side panel where this notch his back was cut a hole for the drain to fit through as well as the holes large enough to get to the ash clean-out and have room for the heat shield adjustment so that's where that is that's what we're showing under here which you access behind this door there's my clean out my heat shield adjustment and my brain well here we are been a little ten days but we got it done it's been a fun project I'm sorry I didn't capture all the details the countertops in particular I followed several people on YouTube and just tried to copy what they did okay okay I got some boys I'm gonna have to go back in and fix but I like to go in the left taking the girls apart they can capture that on because everybody might have a different grille but just take them apart instead I'm hiding so other than that okay the video you got any questions comments concerns moving down below I'll try to answer thanks for watching like subscribe [Music]
