Almost done with my outdoor hangout. I need to put a fascia around the perimeter of the roof edge, finish building table tops over the top of the stumps that are the base for the vertical beams, and build a much nicer picnic table to go with it. I’ll eventually add a flat roof off the front to extend to the edge of the concrete, probably put in a juniper mantle and maybe a bar top somewhere.
I milled all the lumber from juniper with my Alaskan chainsaw attachment. The beams are 6×6, and the boards are 2x(Tapered) with live edge on the bottom. It took a pretty big tree to make the 14’ beam across the front. Its been a fun project, (a lot of work, but fun). All the trees I milled were going to be firewood, so it was pretty cool to give them a longer lasting purpose.

Really like this! Like how you incorporated the fireplace as one of the “corners.” This will be a great hangout/picnic/BBQ spot! Great job.
Man…................. I wish I had one of those mills!
