" We're all used to gas grills in the back yard but that's the first time I've installed when that is electric outdoors where you know this is. One of the unique things about that it's this brutal and I -- made by -- right. And it's -- it's got dampproof controls. And then over on this side. Where you make the electrical connection of course -- the weather -- connector. And you have this cover. That has a foam that seals it up tight so -- water gets in there yes of course it will be under an overhang you have to worry about direct -- onto it. It well it also comes of these covers. The protects it from the rain that of course over the the actual -- Grill you have the rock -- which go down below these group these. -- with he's doing here right yes they go down below and then on top of this bills yeah go I imagine this -- up a heck of a lot quicker than your troubles -- It sure does takes about five minutes compared charcoal which is about thirty minutes and he's -- come here and -- got the downdraft feature should you have to worry about the smoke all over the place when you're growing at stake absolutely and they released three starts to go -- underneath signed yet you still end here -- that's all you have to clean out. Once in while he gets the grease buildup but look at all these different. What our -- out of a riddle accessory. It's kind of -- so that's a heavy duty thank you secure it and that also. And this goes on top of the -- here correct. But -- unique accent -- that I see is this this steamer accessory. It's got where you can put vegetables in your lawyer doing here -- interior trick and I in the Senate listening also just fits on top of right on topic here on top of the burner. Which tried duplicated you can see here we duplicated the the same shape -- the death inside and also kind of the banana leaf and all of the whole tropical theme the architects -- really carried out here. How did you build this what we're built -- would we'll put some partition bucket here and we put some rebar and we build a fort concrete -- the report a little slab in here with some steel. And that was really keep it make it weather. Proof yeah this is from cabinetry really up Florida style pizza construction talk concrete and ceramic tile with colors this is a jade. It's an American made two by two trial. And it's the color Jed. OK and when you're installing tile like this outdoors right on top of concrete. It's a thinset you got a chairman here using -- said he just. Puts a thinset downward -- that are right on it and you can say okay and what's it sets up we just grout it. And -- you evaluate your and he asked. So you don't have to leave much of a ridge with the sense that thinset no audio. That jolted Germany's -- and already provide to be reduce the need to us that the just about an eighth of an inch and nothing much -- that incident very strong very strong and he's -- you have to wait before you can grout. Well I can read about 24 hours it could -- get a chance. The thinset this to driver alone and we come in and we grout it. Each and he goes down a full sheet which makes it nice we -- cut these edges say have you been nipping these with an effort to you have to cut these we can't wanna on electric whipsaw. And so they would fit the edge right. And this is the last -- which goes down over here. And then this will actually be deducted right so it sure we've got a metal -- and here we've also run electricity there. And of course it's it's right in there. And it's going to hear real nicely the duck comes out the side and over there you go to the -- don't we put in Sydney which meant -- all the way across to put the shelf there to cover the dock. And over here you've already put in some of the -- which is often made out of Surell -- exactly it's impervious to weather center."
