Yeah and using tiles just so more filth could get trapped in the grout. He 💯 should have gone for Dexton (like I’m gonna when I get my outdoor kitchen done 😜) one piece of hardwearing (it’s bombproof they use it to clad buildings) easily cleanable surface would have been much cooler, long lasting and practical. Tiles are a ball ache in kitchens and bathrooms where you constantly clean, imagine what that surface is gonna look like in November 🤢

Also agree re the plywood and cedar cladding. Couldn’t be more impractical unless he’d used cardboard and foam.
That cladding of kitchen has been done really nicely by a Manc influencer I watch, in her city centre loft...INSIDE. However, the baton cladding faze is going to scream lockdown DIY 2020/21 very soon.

Can’t wait to see it all weather fkd in 12 months. There’s a reason that “decent” outdoor kitchens are made of stainless steel and concrete. This wood thing just reminds me of my FIL who made some crappy bbq “area” a few years back and it’s just rotted to fk.

That's what my hub said, if you're gonna do an outdoor kitchen, needs to be stainless steel!
 
What is with their bizarre obsession with kitchens? I bet they don't even cook that much - they are too fond of Hello Fresh and Charlie Bigham fast food. A plywood 'outdoor' kitchen like that might work in the hot, dry Mediterranean, but with our dank, wet climate it will be mouldy, warped and rotted in one single winter. Also, the edge of the sink looks unfinished and rubbish, like you could cut yourself on it.

But hey, Fodders, look on the bright side! You can re-do it next year - more content for the 'gram and more freebies, huh? #wasters #beggars #tacky
 
Tiles on a work top are always naff - it really does remind me of some shoddy indoor kitchens abroad that always look ming no matter how much you scrub them. Such a germ 🦠 trap 🤢. Sorry I will die on this hill...I’m slightly manic about clean work surfaces where food is prepped...ok 🙋‍♀️I’m a total germaphobe.

@Miss Anne Thrope so glad someone mentioned the unfinished sink. He’s put that yak tile trim on 3 sides because he hasn’t cut the hole for the sink properly and the tiles and no doubt the crap plywood top overlap the sink edge. Welcome huge area for the water to seep into to attack the plywood 👌

It’s an under-mount sink that needs precision (and not a plywood surround) cutting of the surface and then a clear sealant. One does not put a tile trim around a sink, let alone a Belfast sink. Tacky af!
 
Omg guys I just took a look, when you all said plywood I’d assumed it was one of those japandi (Japanese scandi) kitchens you see all over the place, like sealed wood doors just with no handles? But no omfg it’s actually just PLYWOOD with excess fencing attached? bleeping hell this is beyond naff, what would you even want to keep in those cupboards they’ll be absolutely foul!

Dank wet climate, plus sea salt in the air given proximity to the coast. That “outdoor kitchen” (SURELY must have done to it troll us post-dressing room kitchen) doesn’t stand a chance.
