1 Ever since my grill and smoker got kicked off the pool deck I've wanted to build a small slab/patio in the backyard for my grill and smoker. So I started by digging out an 8' x 12' area.
2 8' x 12' would be large enough for the grill, smoker and a chair or two.

4 But then I started drinking beer. Digging some more. Drinking more beer and next thing you know my 8' x 12' patio had grown to 13' x 15'. And I decided it would be much better to pour a new step from the pool deck down onto the grillin smokin patio.
5 Now we're talkin! There is a considerable change in elevation in this part of the yard so it required considerable dirt moving. And beer drinking. Here you can see Ralphie eying the beautiful fresh dirt/mud pit.

7 I hired 'You Cart it Concrete' in Orlando to pour/finish the slab. The head concrete guy was quite impressed with the engineering of my forms.
