Thank you for taking the time to show most of the “little things” that turn into big headaches for DIYers. Thank you April for another great series of videos.
April Been watching your videos since your garage shop days. You have actually helped me get my passion back for woodworking. This project turned out perfect!! You have such a wonderful group of supporters and family. Looking forward to the next project!! God Bless you kid!!
Great job April. Although you had a lot of good people helping you also. Your work is outstanding and always turns out beautiful. You're absolutely right about having a plan before beginning. Hope you enjoy your new outside area for many years to come.
Great project and results! Being in the trades for almost 50 years I find the energy and detail you put into everything you very motivating. You take on every challenge and just run with it. Wish there were more young people like you to keep the trades moving.
I love it! This series is amazing! Watching it, inspired me. I am working on building a garden shed and I am trying to figure out my plans, dimension, etc. But, seeing this outdoor kitchen, really helps me believe that I can do this! I will build an outdoor kitchen someday and hopefully, I can build it by this series. Thank you for always inspiring us builders and DIYers!!!
Well Ms April let me tell you I have been watching you for years and enjoy your video's very much. I love the fact that you are not afraid to show the mistakes (no matter how few) along with all of the good as it helps me the weekend diy'er not feel as bad when i measure twice and still cut it too short. You willingness to tackle anything is inspiring! You share the facts and then walk thru them in your video's very well. The skill you have gained over the time I have been watching gives me hope of becoming the builder that i want to be. Thank you for the common sense approach and showing the whole process. This kitchen is fantastic! Great job!!!
I love watching all of your builds. Also, I appreciate you pointing out what you learned and that your inexperience at a skill didnt stop u from accomplishing it. Bravo, April!
I love what you are producing, not overly explained yet very well informed! I'm constantly taking mental notes on products and how to use them for their longest life
This is coming from an old finish carpenter (27 yrs of experience...), You did an AMAZING outdoor kitchen/rec platform area, ....... You should be extremely PROUD of a job WELL done .... "Thank You" as always for sharing it with us !!
Doesn't matter what you are doing. It's always interesting, worthwhile and FUN to watch! Love your energy, enthusiasm and your honesty when you mess up. You're a Treasure! You had 50k subs when I joined the party. Thank you April!
I think the space is terrific. I also think your attitude is so positive and fun in the face of the obstacles you run into. Keep it up. Also, resourcefulness is good, but flexibilty is a beautiful thing!
I have enjoyed your journey since very early on, close to or if not the beginning. I met you and Matt Cremona at the woodworking expo in Las egas and you impressed me with your can do attitude and approach. Keep up doing whatever you set out to do. I have faith in you!
What I do when one of my favorite UA-camrs starts a big project in a few parts, I watch the first video and come back later to binge-watch the whole show haha. I am amazed at how beautiful, luxurious and useful the space looks and I bet so many parties and casual lunches will take place here. I bet it would be amazing to sit and relax during a little rainstorm with the fire going on. You are just the best April. Lovely videos!
Thanks for sharing this insightful video series. Although perfect for Texas and southwest locations, limited season use in Great Lakes’ states. However, as an educational tool this series is wonderful. I covered our “barn” using the same roofing materials. It has held up well through heat and cold but it is not impervious to determined tree rats (squirrels). I was surprised that you didn’t use an IBC tote for water retention. You are an impressive craftsperson with an artistic style and excellent educator presence. You should be teaching. Wishing you and your team and family another blessed week. Thanks April.
I have followed you for quite some time now since you only had a tiny shed shop. I have always loved your attitude and willingness to tackle anything. This build is just another, although a lot larger in a long line of awesome projects. Keep up the wonderful attitude and can't wait to see where it leads you next!
Hi April this is the sweetest summer kitchen I’ve ever seen! I can’t believe you did it all when wood prices were the highest they have ever been! Great job!!! I will be doing Up some of those barstools once I get retired and settled in northern Ontario . We would be happy to host you and your team for some great fishing . Still a year out but we are looking for the perfect patch of land on a lake and a April size workshop
Apart from your new place, this is the biggest project to date . Love it , so well thought of. Super happy for you. Very motivated by your energy as usual.
Awesome 👍 April, love your style. Built an outdoor kitchen with pavilion with hot water on demand heater, frig, wine cooler, grill and bar for six, also added an outdoor shower seeing it was all built next to our 15,000 gallon in ground pool. All inside a 24 x 48 ft screened in area. A must for Florida living at it's best!! Always enjoy your videos
Thank you April for this build series. I never would have thought to do some of the things you did. After seeing the whole series it made sense why you did things ahead of time. IE drilling the holes in the ceiling joist ahead of time.
April, I have been watching your videos since you made some kind of shelf in your last house. I am amazed at all you have accomplished. Keep on doing what you do. I haven't seen one video of yours that I haven't liked. Timothy.
OMG...I have been watching you for years. I am 60 now, a woman, and worked building custom homes (helped) was a manager in large lumber yard in my early 20's, I loved it...love watching you and your projects immensely 💕💞🌹🌹
Hola April, té saludo desde Chile 🇨🇱. Que gran video. Cómo se cambia un lugar en un bosque, un jardín, lo que tú quieras hacer. Pero los más importante es disfrutar lo que tú haces. Gracias April saludos 😍🤝🇨🇱
Loved the series. We're kicking around putting something small in our back yard and this gave me a few ideas. We're up north so water is an unlikely addition.
I really enjoyed watching this series. Also I have referred a few friends to watch also. They are starting wood working and I think you are the best teacher.
Yes April, I really enjoyed this series. In fact all of your videos are a great balance of knowledge, education, options in how to, entertainment and humor. All while giving great tools and product reviews and the icing on the cake, that infectious smile and wave at the end of each video! :)
I'm always blown away with what you show us, how you do it, and the finished product. We need a Tool Time with April show! LOL Thank you for all you do and show us and as always I can't wait to see what you show us next. Plus you make me want to move down there and work for you! :)
Yes, enjoy the oudoor kitchen build a lot. I am going to be doing one very soon and i love some of the ideas of things you can do to make it look good and how to do them. Enjoy your kitchen.
I have watched every single video episode of your build and learned a ton! Thanks so much. You gave me confidence to tackle one myself with two others helping a!ong the journey and if I hit a snag I can always contract that portion out! Great Video and Audio Content on this build!
Oh, the envy. Sunday morning brunches with an omelette bar, a bit of acoustic music, hungry friends, warm coffee, lots of laughter. That build will gain a Spirit of its Own.
Can't wait to watch the entire series over the winter, as I'll be building my outdoor kitchen next spring/summer. Love the look of the columns, so can't wait to see how you did those. One question, are you concerned about critters under the decking? Or what have you done to help mitigate that? Keep up the great content!
The Outdoor Kitchen was awesome and all those details need to be in my back yard! Now I have to get a back yard; don't those come attached to something else? I see what you mean about cost escalations! Great work and concept, April! FR
Thank you LOVED!!! This series. My wife and I are moving into the Dallas area and looking to do a outdoor kitchen also in our backyard. Gave us some good ideas. Now the fun part of getting quote as we can tackle something ourselves and other we'l have to get some "experts" to do for us. Thank you again.
I've followed this build all the way through. What an amazingly fun and functional project. It really gets me thinking about the next project I'll be doing. Keep up the good work, y'all!
Hi April! This series (and your videos) are great! I think it would be really great for budding builders like me, who make mistakes without realizing it, if you did a follow up if you find something that needs to be changed with the space? That way we can also learn from you how to fix things that we didn't realize were wrong at the time (I'm always super worried of not doing something right and not knowing what to do after the fact!).
This has been my favorite series since the shop build...I love seeing big projects come together, especially when they're things that you're going to utilize constantly. Maybe your next project should be a pool? Then a pool house to go with it. Heck, just build a mini-resort on your property ;)
April, I have absolutely loved the Outdoor Kitchen project and series. I think I have learned a whole lot watching the series but still I am very intimidated on such a huge project. It is absolutely beautiful, well done. Great ideas 💡 from watching the series. I look forward to the fire pit project. Keep up the GREAT work!
Hi April - I work in IT and I'm currently working on a big project for my company and it's so daunting because of how new and complex it is. I really liked what you said at the start of the video about not giving in to the anxiety of doing big project, the advice is really helpful!
You’re just amazing, for inspiring people and showing that learning is actually easy and one should not be afraid of the unknown. Keep it up!
Love how you left the hoop straps on -- they will make for a fun story indeed.
Yes! That's what I thought too. No one is every too big to not make mistakes. Adds to the Story. Thanks for watching.
Adds character to a masterpiece!
Have to say that this was a brilliant build series. Looking forward to what is coming next
It turned out GORGEOUS!
Thank you for taking the time to show most of the “little things” that turn into big headaches for DIYers. Thank you April for another great series of videos.

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the Series. Thank you for watching and staying along for the ride. :)
What a beautiful recap! The out-takes at the end are the best! Thanks for taking us along for the ride!
Turn the sling mistake into an asset and hang some sky chairs off the slings!
That's called turning an Oooopps into an asset ....... just sayin' ....... ;-p
Really enjoyed the entire series, April. To the point, without extraneous words. Tough to find. Nice to not hear. Great job. Keep it up!
Great job April. Although you had a lot of good people helping you also. Your work is outstanding and always turns out beautiful. You're absolutely right about having a plan before beginning. Hope you enjoy your new outside area for many years to come.

April, I am really impressed with how far you have some as a builder, UA-camr and entrepreneur. If I were wearing a hat it would off for you.
Thanks! Glad you are still along for the ride. Thanks for watching.
Extremely well done! I enjoy your videos and the energy and more importantly the smiles they bring you! Keep up the great work,
Great series, great result. Had fun watching this project. What's next? Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.
That outdoor kitchen is awesome!! Definitely the envy of many Americans!!
Love how far you have come over the years. Hard work does it every time April and you have that push. Congrats, great kitchen.

Absolutely beautiful. Congrats on completing the project!
Thanks for sharing the psychological parts of tackling a big build (or anything new). The kitchen is beautiful.
Doesn't matter what you are doing. It's always interesting, worthwhile and FUN to watch! Love your energy, enthusiasm and your honesty when you mess up. You're a Treasure! You had 50k subs when I joined the party. Thank you April!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoy my Videos. Thank you for watching and staying along for the ride. :)
I think the space is terrific.
I also think your attitude is so positive and fun in the face of the obstacles you run into.
Keep it up.

Hi April this is the sweetest summer kitchen I’ve ever seen! I can’t believe you did it all when wood prices were the highest they have ever been! Great job!!! I will be doing
Up some of those barstools once I get retired and settled in northern Ontario . We would be happy to host you and your team for some great fishing . Still a year out but we are looking for the perfect patch of land on a lake and a April size workshop
Apart from your new place, this is the biggest project to date . Love it , so well thought of. Super happy for you. Very motivated by your energy as usual.
Very cool April!! This has been an amazing series and I've thoroughly enjoyed watching every minute of it. More happy dancing please:)
Awesome 👍 April, love your style. Built an outdoor kitchen with pavilion with hot water on demand heater, frig, wine cooler, grill and bar for six, also added an outdoor shower seeing it was all built next to our 15,000 gallon in ground pool.

Love the end result and I also loved following along as you constructed it.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

Yes April, I did enjoy this series. Especially the decking. Such detailed explanations were very helpful.
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
The Outdoor Kitchen was awesome and all those details need to be in my back yard! Now I have to get a back yard; don't those come attached to something else? I see what you mean about cost escalations! Great work and concept, April! FR
what a dream space you created!! well done!
I think I'd spend all day out there! Such an amazing build and I loved the videos along the way
Great series. Well thought out and executed. Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely superb creation - well done you - and your team! :)

That is awesome! Glad you enjoyed the Series. Thanks for watching.
@@AprilWilkerson want to do some pro bono work? 😏
I laughed out loud with your happy dance after cutting that tree down. I guess you could call this massively beautiful.
This was an amazing series. Learned some new tricks as far as low voltage wiring and rain water collection. Can't wait until the next build.
April- you rock. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
great design, documentation and execution April! congrats!!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

Only one word here : AWESOME! It’s giving me ideas for the backyard!!
So many Ideas! Marvelous work April. Keep up the great work. Hope to meet you one day. All the best from Alberta, Canada!
Girlfriend and I loved the series. And we are very jealous of the new kitchen.
Hi April! This series (and your videos) are great!

That way we can also learn from you how to fix things that we didn't realize were wrong at the time (I'm always super worried of not doing something right and not knowing what to do after the fact!).
This and the chicken coop videos are my favorites, and the out takes were nice too!❤ Thank you and God Bless you and your family!
Thank you! I'm glad you like them! Thanks for watching.
Great series! You are the master. I now have the confidence to remodel our outdoor patio into a smaller version of your beautiful project.
Awesome! Glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching.
This has been my favorite series since the shop build...I love seeing big projects come together, especially when they're things that you're going to utilize constantly. Maybe your next project should be a pool? Then a pool house to go with it. Heck, just build a mini-resort on your property ;)

Love the space. Love that you did it yourself with some help from friends.
Yes, I do as much as I can by myself but sometimes need a 2nd or even a 3rd hand. My Employees are the greatest. Thanks for watching.
one word Awesome build of outdoor kitchen area, i love it...
Absolutely loved this project!!! Thanks so much for sharing all your ideas, and process’s for doing thins!!!!
As with all of your "project" FANTASIC! Would like to see a summer update on the garden.
I’ve enjoyed this series and am looking forward to more. You should try to do something with This Old House. That would be very good to watch.
Hi April - I work in IT and I'm currently working on a big project for my company and it's so daunting because of how new and complex it is. I really liked what you said at the start of the video about not giving in to the anxiety of doing big project, the advice is really helpful!
Thanks! Glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching.
