Rusty Old BBQ

17 years ago

I had this old BBQ sitting in my yard after buying a new one last year and didn't want to send it to the landfill. I needed a flat space for serving beverages when we have people over.

I took the bowl, handles, etc off the BBQ, put some 2 x 8 boards I got in the cull bin at Home Depot (50 cents each!)as the table top. Then, I added some ceramic tile I got dumpster diving when a flooring store went out of business to finish the table top and put a strip of pine around the table top to finish it off.

My daughter painted the oversized bottle cap for me, and I got the umbrella at Harbor Freight for $7! It works great as a beverage center...and I have a cooler under the table top to keep the beverages cool.

That is not what I was expecting to see. It doesnt even look like a redo, it looks like you went out and bought it. Very nice and professional looking. I see these often at the curb but had no idea what anyone could do with them. I should have had more faith in the creativity of the group. I really like it a lot.
