What happens here
With the design finalized, proceed with constructing the vertical base structures using concrete blocks. These structures will form the framework for the kitchen island, perimeter counters, and appliance enclosures. Lay the blocks meticulously, ensuring each course is level and plumb. Use a wet saw to cut blocks to size as needed for precise fitting around appliance openings and corners. The goal is to build these verticals up to a height that will accommodate the chosen appliances and provide a solid foundation for future countertops, aiming for counter height as discussed in the video.
Goal: Build the foundational block walls for the outdoor kitchen.
