DIY Outdoor Kitchen Build, part 3: Cementboard, accessories, tile, and trim
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 гру 2020
- The last installment! We go backwards a bit and cover cutting and attaching the Durock, and prepping it for tile.
Also, installing some very pesky grill accessories -- two doors, and a set of drawers. Plus, the drink trough and its drain. Along the way, a LOT of tile happens. Ultimately, we finish this doozy of a project!
Follow @shoestringmartha on instagram for updates and previews of all of our projects, as well as tips and recipes!
Accessories we used (affiliate links included):
Mophorn Outdoor Kitchen 14W x 20H Inch Wall Construction Stainless Steel Flush Mount for BBQ Island, 14inch x 20inch, Single Door with Vents -- HEADS UP! The opening was too narrow for a standard propane tank. It was too late to return it, so we ended up just buying a smaller tank. Bonehead move, but we made it work.

They don't sell the 20X b 14H access door anymore, but they do have this bigger one now:

Mophorn 18x20.5 Inch Outdoor Kitchen Drawers Stainless Steel with Handle for BBQ Island, 18 x 20.6 x 12.7 Inch
amzn.to/2RqQpal
Also, one should note that the handles are different on each item. Just a heads up, in case that's a deal breaker for you.
The drink trough is an Ariel 42" zero radius undermount bar sink, and we got it from Overstock. We top-mounted it, in case we ever have to replace it.

I've even seen people use a length of gutter, but we wanted something sturdier and wider, with straight sides. - Навчання та стиль
Beautiful beautiful job🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You guys make it look like a walk in the park. I enjoy so much your videos, thank you for sharing your amazing job!!!!
What a great series!! Really appreciated seeing the process from start to finish, even the mistakes that were made along the way. Very inspiring
Just wanted to drop you a note and let you know how much I enjoyed this series. I know it is a ton of work to produce and edit something like this. The is exactly the type of thing I’m looking to build in my backyard. The drink trough is pure genius.
That is so lovely to hear! Our goal was just to make the videos we wish we had when we were planning this whole thing. :D The drink trough and its rigging was totally Ames idea, and she'll be pleased to hear someone appreciated it. Best of luck with your build!
Great job and I appreciate you taking the time to post these videos.
Inspiring! Really enjoyed watching this 3 part series. Great job guys! Looks amazing.
Fantastic job. Thank you for all the great ideas.
Great job and series! I live in FL - that thing is hurricane proof.
Very impressive project. Great DIY!
That's pretty good. Nice job!
Awesome job! Thank you for posting!
Awesome job, it turned out so great!
thanks for adding I love the idea to use the 32" sink as a way to have drinks on Ice for people.
Excellent work. Great video thank you for sharing
Thank you guy's i really enjoyed watching all 3 part of DIY video's I'm going to try to build it one day
Turned out great!!
What a great series!👍
I love the tiles it gives it more personality.
Dang! That's looking amazing!
🔥 what a great job!
Gave me some great ideas
Looking forward to building mine
Thanks
Go for it!
phenomenal job you guys rocked it GREAT FREAKING JOB!!!!!!!
Thank you so much!! 😊😊😊
Thanks for the video. Looking forward to seeing more videos like this. Subscribed and liked!
Awesome!!!! great work
I loved the sink
Thank you! 😊
You all did a fabulous job!! I have been hesitant to build my own outdoor kitchen/grilling area. After seeing this I think I’m going for it. Thank you.
Aw yeah!! You got this!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Looks great ! A lot of work but the finish is well worth it.
Thank you for this series. I just bought my steel studs and channel! I went with the 2-1/2" studs for more interior space.
Yay! Great idea, using narrower studs. Our available footprint is so small, the interior space is fairly limited. Those would have been a really useful space saver!
absolutely gorgeous!!! you have inspired me to use tile instead of cedar ;)
This whole series was awesome. Inspiring me to do my own!
Thank you so much! If a pair of boneheads like us can do it, anyone can -- get after it! :)
This is the 100 times my husband and I watched this. Paused every 10s to get all the details. And screenshot. And your video is so fantastic that I was able to take him off wood framing but studs
Awesome, thanks! I mean, if *we* can handle it (albeit with some mistakes) literally anyone can! 😂
I liked the learn as you go method. I’m building mine now and trying to figure it out. That was a lot of work. Looks good!
Thanks! Hard to believe we do a ton of planning and research, with the intent of doing everything right the first time, only to have all sorts of unanticipated issues come up anyway. All one can do is be flexible, adapt , and have a good sense of humor. 😂 Best of luck with your build!
I love your video series, thanks so much for taking the time to make them. This will be super helpful with my next project. Plus, it's cool to see some AZ locals doing cool things.
Arizona, represent! Your recipes look legit -- totally subscribing!
@@ShoestringMartha Awesome, so glad we could connect!
Gorgeous ❤️
It looks great. I’m trying to do this as well for my backyard. ❤
Good luck with your build! 👏🏼
Great video thanks for the info
Great job! My husband is working on ours now.Yours look good!
Thank you! May your build go smoothly, and enjoy your new outdoor space :)
LOVE IT!
Thank you. I am about to start mine. So many things that i will steal from your design
Lol.
Steal away, and best of luck with your build! 😄
Nice Job some good info
I had decided on a DIY metal BBQ island. I have no experience with metal framing so looking for some tips on you tube I came across your videos! Overall very good job of explaining the process on how you went about it. Very informative!
Thank you! It's kind of intimidating, but once you get into it, it starts to make sense and is more forgiving than you would think, as you can tell by how many times we moved, adjusted, and re-worked the structure. Good luck!
Uber classy👍🏼👏🏼
Freaking awesome.
Just wanted to let you know, you guys rock. Was looking for outdoor kitchen ideas and ran across you and used you as the guild and was greatful that you put the doors and sink links in your comments, that saved a ton of time and came to the relization your a great shopper. So I just wanted to say thank you and how great your videos where and anyone with half a brain should be able to figure it out from what you did. So Thanks again. You made my outdoor kitchen go smoothly and your videos are much better than Outdoor Eddie. I'm just saying
Awesome, thanks so much!! That is so wonderful to hear! We're all out here just trying to figure out this stuff together 😂
Dam that inspector what’s on top of you all the time 😂😂😂
He was very committed to his work! 😂
Nice 👍
Martha, I watched all 3 of the videos. Y'all are extremely good at DIY. Do you know that you just built a $10,000 outdoor kitchen? I have looked at pre-made and they are ridiculously high. Fantastic job. I would be building mine in Cathedral City, CA so I will probably put in a small refrigerator as well since it will prevent folks wet from the pool tracking into the kitchen. Since I will have to run electricity for that, may as well put an overhead pergola with lighting to keep the sun off during the day and have lighting at night. Thanks again for your inspiration!
Thank you so very much! Your outdoor kitchen plans sounds like an utter dream! 😍 😍 😍 Best of luck with your build -- you'll never regret taking it on.
I enjoyed. Awesome job. Even wore a Cubs shirt?
But of course! 😂
Use a dremel with a tile drill bit next time. They're super expensive but will buzz through that tile in 30 seconds. Great work by the way! Love the video too!
You wouldn't guess it, since it's took about 84 years to do it's job, but there's a tile bit on that drill.
Ladies, cracking job and thanks for sharing. Given me great inspiration for my outdoor kitchen. Did you make a video for the concrete worktop?
Thank ya! And you bet we did 😊 m.ua-cam.com/video/o-RWrLGGgpM/v-deo.html
LOVE LOVE LOVE! these videos are so helpful - thank you for taking the time to create them. Btw, I noticed that the concrete base for the patio cracked. Was the weight of the bar too much or were these cracks there before construction?
Thanks so much! They were already there. We did eventually fix it 😅 ua-cam.com/video/P4yMZ6XESf8/v-deo.html
No even awesome is the best video ever on UA-cam about this topic. My respects to you.
Now I'm seeing everything gray.
🚑
These videos are awesome and super helpful, I noticed the fencing you have in the back and was wondering what type of wood you used for this ?
Thanks so much! They are pine 1x5x8s, cut down to about 7'.
OUTSTANDING DIY!! Did you consider doing block instead of metal studs?
We did not. Framing seemed less intimidating that masonry 😄 Also, the slab is soooo small. Even framed, the interior space is pretty minimal. I think with block, we’d have none. But if you have the space and confidence for it - why not?!
Cementboard was 1/2 or 3/4. Great work
Thank you! We used 3/4".
Looks great! Thanks for sharing. How did you mount the vent to the tile? Thank You
Thanks! We just glued it on with Liquid Nails. Seems to be holding just fine 🤞🏻
Very encouraging video. Close to starting my own similar project. What brand/ model cabinet door had the short mounting flange? Shopping for those now.
The model is "Mophorn Outdoor Kitchen 14W x 20H Inch Wall Construction Stainless Steel Flush Mount for BBQ Island". I put the details and links up above in the description. Also, I noted there and in the follow-up video the opening is too narrow for your standard 20lb propane tank -- so beware, and best of luck on your project!
@ShoestringMartha Awesome job and thanks for this video series it really helped me with my build. Since you had to use 1x4 and shims to level the kitchen frame (since your concrete was sloping away) did you end up with different heights on your kitchen frame once it was levelled? With my build I did exactly the same (used 1x4's to level the kitchen frame) on one corner the height is 36" and on the opposite end corner the height is 37 3/4" (this is the corner I used shims to level the kitchen frame). Is this normal? If not any suggestions to fix this?
We not only leveled the frame, but also made sure the top edges of the concrete forms were level in all directions before pouring. The thickness looks consistent, all around.
great work! Did the protruding screw heads in the frame front cause issues when attaching the cement board (it looks like they're fairly raised and would prevent the cement board from clean contact to frame or causing it to warp if/when screwed to the frame ?
Thanks! I didn’t notice any distortion in the cementboard. I would guess that the back surface would yield to anything pointy.
Looks amazing, just wondering how did you manage the ground contact? At 3:07, doesnt seem like you have thinset connecting the cement board to the concrete slab to make a joint/seal. Curious how did you prevent water penetration on rainy days?
I'm not sure I understand your question, but think you are asking why there is a gap at the bottom? If so, that was intentional. The slab slopes away from the house, and toward the kitchen. We left a small space at the bottom, so that the water can flow underneath, and out the other side, rather than pooling on the slab.
It's been a couple year now, and there have been no problems with water. However, we do live in the desert. We get a few large downpours in the late summer, but other than that, it's very dry.
Looks like it came out great! I’m at the beginning stages of my build and also have a Kamado Joe. Quick couple of questions, how did you reinforce the pad that the Kamado is sitting on (didn’t catch it in the vid) and also, how did you pick the big ole thing up to put it in its new home. I’m so scared of breaking mine. Thank you.
Thank you! We're still pretty pleased with it. Reinforcement was in the first video -- the one one steel framing. We basically, just added extra framing underneath -- right in the center -- to really beef up the platform. Lifting up the Kamado was definitely a two person job, esp. for 2 pipsqueaks like us. I don't recall for sure, but we may have placed it with the lid off, and then attached it afterward. It was stressful, for sure, mostly getting it settled into the feet just right. Good luck with your build!
I am about to undergo a similar build, was planning on Stone Veneer, but your tile sure looks nice and easier. Give's me pause for thought. One question, were you able to open the Kamado Joe with the Pole in the way?
Well-spotted! We can open it about 90% before the vent touches the pole, plenty wide enough to place just about anything on the grill surface, and since the lid has that air lift hinge, there's no danger of it falling back down.
Your work is gorgeous. Thank you for your videos. I'm sorry if this was asked, I'm not finding the answer...what thickness of cement board did you use? Thank you so much, and happy building.
Thank you! We used 3/4” ☺️
Wonderful! What is it that you put on the back of the tiles to stick on the wall?
Just regular tile thinset. We re-used a bucket from something else to mix it in.
very interesting.what about that concrete counter top? did you make it yourself too?
You bet! That’s part 2: ua-cam.com/video/o-RWrLGGgpM/v-deo.html
great video! did you have to predrill through the steel for the rock on screws?
Thank you! Nope, they seemed to plow through just fine -- probably even easier with an impact.
@@ShoestringMartha good to know! Thank you!!
so, what was the base where you slid your Gas Grill into? I watched all 3 videos and I didn't see how you completed the cut-out for the grill interior space. I just saw that the Grill was in place and was wondering was it just resting on the metal studs or was there a solid surface underneath it? Thanks..
It is just resting on the studs. It is open underneath, so that we could connect the gas line, and access the ignitor battery.
Great video- since the kitchen is not covered, do you have issues with rain? I am assuming you are covering the grill…etc
Thanks! We don’t get much rain out here in Arizona. We dont cover the grill, since it’s meant to be outside. Might be different for you in your climate.
Can you be more specific about the aluminum corners you used to cover the tile joints? I need to do something similar but don’t know where to find something like that. Thanks! It came out great btw
You bet! It is 1" aluminum angle. We got ours at Home Depot: www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-1-in-x-96-in-Aluminum-Angle-with-1-16-in-Thick-800057/204325583
Great videos. I'm in the planning and research phase of building of building a bbq island using metal studs as you all did. Question regarding the area under the grill. Did you install cement board to the frame directly under the grill (the horizontal area where the grill may rest)? And if so, did you cut a hole in the board for hoses to pass through?
Thank you! We did not cementboard under the grill. It's sitting directly on the horizontal framing I put across the opening, so no worries about the hoses. :)
@@ShoestringMartha thanks!
Excellent work !! Loved it. Can you give us the link ?
I mean link for the frame from Amazone.
Thank you! I'm not sure which thing you mean, but any items we used that are from Amazon should be in the description.
Great video thank you! Currently working on mine. Have you had any water issues with the cement boards? Some videos suggest using a waterproofing membrane before tiling and I am trying to figure out if it’s absolutely necessary.
Welcome! We have not had any water issues, but we live in an very dry environment. If you live somewhere that gets snow or a lot of rain, I can see where it might be something to consider.
Not necessary. Shower surrounds are built the same way, tile on cement board. You might consider sealing the grout, but that’s more just to keep it clean.
Shower surrounds are also waterproofed
Do you have a video on how you did the counter top?

❤
What about bees? Can you get at them if they build a nest? Loved the video.
Thanks! I think for a person of small build, most of the interior is reachable. The only spot that’s probably not is between the drawers and the end.
Hey awesome vid…what mortar did you use to secure the tile?
Thank you! We used the Mapei brand, from Floor & Decor. I think they also sell it at Lowes.
Great job. Did you pre-drill holes for attaching the cement board like you did when connecting the studs to each other? In the vid it looks like you were struggling with getting a screw in from the top and so just wondering if you pre-drilled? I'm getting ready to do a similar build in a few weeks. Thanks
Nope! With the cementboard in place, we didn’t have any wobble problems and were able to drill straight though. Also, if we had a driver then, we wouldn’t have had to pre-drill either. Kicking myself for not buying one for that project 😆
@@ShoestringMartha Thanks. Would 1 1/4" Rock-On screws work for the cement board?
We used Rock-On screws as well, but 1 5/8. I would think 1 1/4 would be ok. 🤔That’s 3/4” for the cementboard and … *mathing* … 1/2” for the framing. My vote is yes. 😅
@@brianrolf usually it's #9 x 1-1/4" for 5/8 or 3/4 cement board
Awesome build. Bronze corners would be event better, especially when they age.
Thanks! Bronze is a good idea, for when the aluminum gives out. 😊
bronze would look ridiculous against the black and white tile mixed with the stainless... black on the corners was the only viable option.
6:28... why was it a "very long process"? Did you use a masonry bit? Nice vids btw.
Thank you! We were using diamond drill bits for ceramic tile. Masonry ones might have been faster, but we were paranoid about cracking or chipping the tile. Trade off was that it was verrrrrrry slow.
What did you use for the bottom of the inside of your cabinets? Or did you just place things on the floor inside the cabinets?
Cedar fence boards! If you would like a better look at them, it's covered in part one, right about here: ua-cam.com/video/xxlgRifkVe0/v-deo.html
Where did you find the steel framing?
Home Depot - but only certain stores.
Nice, but if I was you I would relocate that Royal Poinciana it's going to crack your floor in the near future.
Awesome build. Where did you get your accessories from?
Thanks so much! We got them from Amazon. It was less expensive that way, but as you saw in the video, it caused a few snags. Also, I forgot to mention that, even though they are from the same manufacturer, they each have different handles. Not a big deal, but we may replace them later. Nonetheless, I put the links to them in the description.
@@ShoestringMartha thanks for the reply. I was looking at them on amazon, they are a fraction of the price of getting them from bull or one of the other complete bar build manufacturers.
Access panel

They don't sell the wide one in that size anymore, but they do have this bigger one now: amzn.to/3KSlvQv
Where did you buy the drink trough?
Overstock I think? There should be a link in the description.
Where did you guys pick up the trim pieces?
It is 1” aluminum angle, from Home Depot
how are the doors holding up?
The wide one tends to swing open when it's windy, but otherwise, all good!
Great job but why did you build it on such bad concrete?
Thanks, and totally valid callout! We discussed it before we started, and decided we just didn't have the time and budget to replace the slab. In retrospect, it may have saved time and effort, when it came to leveling. Plan A was just to cover the remaining visible ugliness with a giant jute rug and call it boho. We did that, and hated it. (Upside, the rug looks great in the house.) Plan B is to either grind down the high spot, patch and paint, as we did in the patio gym, or cut out the worst of it and pour. That'll be covered in the recap / update video, whenever we get that done. Of course, all of this would have been easier BEFORE the build, but hindsight 20/20 and all that jazz.
I’m s confused… at the 6:05 mark I see you securing the tiles with quickrete concrete patcher… I don’t even see any thin set… am I missing something¿
I had to queue it up and see for myself. 🤔 Yep. That is just thinset mixed up in a recycled bucket. It was just such a convenient size 😂
Was that thick block of concrete top necessary? Why not just tile over Durock? Just saying
Necessary? No. It's purely for style points. If you like tile countertops -- go for it!
@@ShoestringMartha perfect, I will totally use your framing and everything up to the concrete, I think if it holds a big concrete block it will hold anything lol thanks
Where’s the drink trough from?
The drink trough is an Ariel 42" zero radius undermount bar sink, and we got it from Overstock. We top-mounted it, in case we ever have to replace it.

Outdoor cooking video next?
LOL -- nah, my cooking videos get like 0 views. Since it's poppin off -- a mushroom growing crate update is next!
Can you please help me drill holes in my two drawer box. I have the save as you. I’ve tried every drill bit and every liquid method there is. Slow drilling fast drilling. It’s barely scratching the surface. That half inch tile bit you used looked huge! Help please.
You could not pay me enough 😂 Thanks to the magic of editing, that 30+ minutes it took to drill a couple holes only lasted 30 seconds. I thought my arm was going to fall off. The only thing I didn't try was a good quality stepbit / unibit. So maybe that's an option. Hopefully a metal pro will chime in with the secret key to drilling holes in stainless steel, without slowly dying inside.
@@ShoestringMartha lol. Fair enough. I’ll just keep at it. So frustrating that they don’t come with holes. Thank you for responding though. Lol
Hang in there!
Another thing I just thought of -- when we built the kitchen, we did not yet own an impact driver (which is why we struggled with the self-tappers). That probably would have helped with making holes in the stainless steel too, rather than our wimpy drill. So if you're not already, maybe give an impact a whirl.
What was overall cost price?
I don't recall exactly, but I believe I did a cost breakdown in the review video: ua-cam.com/video/fBd8dIhN-HA/v-deo.html
What size is your Kamado Joe? Looking to do something similar for 2 Lg. Big Green Eggs.
22" at the widest :)
How much would all this cost?
We’re going to do a follow up that includes a more detailed cost breakdown, but roughly, not including the grill or smoker - $1650. We didn’t have to buy much in the way of tools, so that’s pretty much just materials, plus the doors and sink.
Update: While I was looking at my estimates, my partner has the receipts, and she said the total was closer to $2,000.
@@ShoestringMartha thank you for the extra details. You guys did a great job.
Very nice 👍 👏🇺🇸🙂🏳️🌈
Thank you for the videos, they were very helpful! Watched your videos many, many times. Here is my completed build....ua-cam.com/video/lE3et7dnEkg/v-deo.html
