Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Food, Cooking, and Game Preparation 10 year anniversay of my kitchen addition

This month is the 10th anniversary of the 2nd kitchen addition we put on the house for butchering/processing and sausage making. (even though the wife takes it over during the holidays for goodies she makes) The Wife, our two sons and I did it ourselves from design drawings to final decorating. Its 18 by 24 inside with epoxy floor and game hoist and sports an exposed, roofed over patio for the few months we have decent weather up here to grill out. To commemorate the decade anniversary, Im taking a trip down memory lane. The wife learned a lot about concrete work during this project.

Hard work, close family, Fine dinning and doing it all yourself. Living the high life.

pretty nice. thanks for sharing.

I always used an old oak tree in the backyard to hang my deer and hogs. lol.

At times It also serves as my sewing room for things like Tipi�s



Leather mittens



DIY heater body suit for below zero hunting.



It�s a place to display about 400 unique broadheads.



And to make custom knives



And to do European mounts and do gun corrosion evaluations and Broadhead and bow and arrow making and broadhead performance evaluations. Its an all around man cave.

That's cool.

Awesome job, by all of ya'...!
Thanks for postin' it all up.
Very nice results, and great that everyone pitched in to the degree that they did.

My sons seemed to enjoy the new experiences with the exception of roofing (but it was pretty hot at the time). They seemed to dislike tearing off shingles and paper but I cant blame them.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing!

envy.

Lots of talent on display.


re-congrats.

DIYguy,

Judging from your posts here (and on another website I forget right now), I am guessing that you are not much of a couch potato, sitting around watching TV?

You seem to be busy -- always doing something fun and worthwhile!

I turned the TV off 9 years ago. Best move I ever made. It added many hours to the day for "activities". I dont even watch Packer games as I cant susspend my life for 3 hours when I know I can google the score later in the day and only waste 10 seconds of my life to see if they won. I dont care to sit and watch other people doing stuff when I got stuff I can be doing. You guys can keep your Morks and your Mindy�s and your Battlestar Gallacticas and A-Team. Ive got no use for them.
