An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

It's mostly salvaged materials because of course it is, I built it. Anyway I wanted a barbecue shack, I'm always out there cooking, and why should only douchebags have outdoor kitchens? So I built this today in about 4 hours. I didn't get a permit, don't tell Babylon.

"Damn Bizzle, clean your yard brooooooo" yeah I know.

BBQ? Check. Comfy lawn chair? Check. Just needs a beverage cooler and perfect.

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm thinking about sticking a mini fridge out there 🤔

This looks great but uhh... why did you tilt the water towards and on to your home? You may want to rotate this if you can.

That's not going to be good long term.

[–] Jerb322@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Just cut the difference off the front posts and add them to the back two. Plenty of fancy joints out there to make them strong.

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The joints?

Pocket screws

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

That's just a garage, and I'm going to add a gutter

[–] uienia@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I'm not sure it is tilted at all, and that it is just the perspective making it appear as it is. But yeah tilted away would be preferable.

Even ran electric, add a stereo you got it going good

[–] redlemace@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Electra yes, but radio's, tv's, speakers outside I just don't get it. Yeah, I do love music but outdoor .... No thnx.

[–] jode@pawb.social 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Mannnnnnnn I wish I didn't have to worry about snow loads where I live. If I built one of those it would probably need double the lumber to keep it from collapsing.

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Thanks to climate change maybe you can in a few more years

[–] FUCKING_CUNO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

Nice job! Just in time for summer

[–] redlemace@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

What time do we light it up?

[–] Jerb322@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago
[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wow. That looks... ...salvaged!

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Totally. We had something like this but our grill didn't have legs.

[–] zr0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I’ll give it 3 years max, then you have to redo it.

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I spent like $40 on the handful of stuff I didn't salvage so that's pretty good

[–] zr0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 month ago

Been there, done that.

In 3 years you realize you have done more damage, which not only costs you more to do it properly, but also makes you realize you wasted those $40.

If you want to save money, buy and make things for life. Everything else is just a boomerang with extra costs.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nice! Are you planning to actually barbecue in there, or is it a grill shack?

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That Weber once smoked a brisket for 22 hours and just a few weeks ago it did 20# of pulled pork, I actually do more barbecue than grilling. That shitty woodshed you can kind of see is full of hardwood- mostly hickory but also some apple. A lot of guys (especially traeger guys) tend to shit on using the Weber to barbecue, but I've been doing it for years and it's always good 👍 I've got a barrel and an old propane tank that I fantasize about turning into an offset, but I can't weld.
