Given your storm water drainage issue pipping gutters back to drain rear of property is a good idea, but doubt building inspector will allow you to tie your sink into that drain.Īs for electrical not sure of the distance involved back to your main panel, is the shop power closer. You don’t want to great a vacuum that can possibly pull contaminated water back into your home. Jay, Better to install a permanent water supply, If not make sure you have anti-siphon spigot. Ps I can see Michelle and I sitting at the bar some time. You could also look into a T shape structure with my design / description. This design would eliminate any issues with the property line / fence. Right where your current grill/bar is I see a couple of options, 1) grass 2) horse shoe pit 3) play area for Tyler Kay 4) Flower bed 5) water feature ***my vote 6) garden 7) table / umbrella. I would relocate the fire place on the SE corner of the pad (radius bend). In the current fire place, I would put a fire ring for the times you want to sit outside with the family all together. This allows you to walk in any condition. Run the shelter roof all the way into your existing house roof (gable roof). I would move your grill/bar structure to the East side of the concrete pad. You could also entertain in the rain if it was under roof. With the current drawing, if it were raining you have to walk in the rain to grill. I would want to make this area usable as much as possible to include rain. Well I believe if your gonna do something do it right the first time. Need lettuce or tomatos just walk over and pick some. Then maybe incorporate it into your cooking as well. That is a high traffic area so you will likely weed it more. * You also might add some raised garden beds, if your into gardening, right off of the edge of the cement, and over by the wall. * Would be cool to have some sort of cover over the fireplace sitting area so if it is sprinkling you can still sit out there * I like the larger cement area more room to grow, and less to mow. We added several freeze hydrants because why not, and it has been amazing. This gives you more versatility with watering the yard. * If you are routing water or the sink you might add a freeze hydrant to the corner of the shelter by the pole.

This helps to reduce the amount of water that falls to the backside of the shelter. You can then run gutters to the water tank from the roof. Then put a water tank on the other side kind of hidden. I have a homestead so I am often thinking about water, you might not care, but you might build up the wall by the smoker a bit higher. It is funny I had all kinds of thoughts/questions on drainage of water, and in the last couple of minutes you answered those questions. I just screw the metal pipe to the spigot on the wall and everything’s connected. That way, it’s sturdy at the connection points and easy everywhere else. On one end, I have a metal pipe coming out of the ground with a hose attachment, then pvc to the other end, then a metal pipe with a spigot. I did what you’re going to do for adding water (except for me, it was to a garden spot that needed a spigot) and the compressed air method works great to winterize it. It’s surprising how useful a griddle is vs a grill (I’d pick the grill first, griddle is a nice extra). Thanksgiving) for making a big breakfast, burgers, etc. I found it’s really handy to have one when you have family over (e.g. and having that conduit there to run an ethernet cable through is cheap insurance now.ĭo you have space for a griddle? (Lowes has a good one, pretty cheap). You may end up deciding (maybe even years from now) that it would be great to have a camera(s) out there, be able to plug in ethernet, etc. If you’re going to bury a conduit (good idea) bury a second one above it.
