Outdoor Kitchen

Have a small kitchen indoors as we live in Queensland and would really like to spend more time outside under the patio which is a descend size square meters. It isn't enclosed but thinking about using clear blinds. Would really like to hear from the normal everyday do it yourselfer and not the deep pocket champagne type. so please give me your ideas and if possible photos so I can see your creation.

You're a champion mate, there definitely is room for more awareness of depression, as it's not a logical condition.

 

A glaring aspect of depression which isn't known to those who don't suffer from it, is that there may be no desire to do what we love doing, or be alongside who we really love. I can also attest that I haven't met a person with depression that I haven't liked/loved.

 

A big kiss & hug from me to Pam, who obviously understands, loves, & is there for you.

We are both very lucky blokes to have the support of lovely wives.

@andymann, me too. Perhaps working/creating with our hands is something we've discovered to be helpful - I know I have. I will never let depression define me. I am so much more than my illness. And on a lighter note - a hike around my Bunnings store always makes my heart sing. Cheers.
