In case you weren’t aware, I was recently invited to join in a very fun challenge over at Better Home's and Gardens and I was more than happy to accept. In BHG.com’s words, “We asked five of our favorite home and garden bloggers to create clever weekend projects for outdoor living, using $500 in materials from The Home Depot.” How awesome is that? So throughout the month of April, we’ll be blogging about the entire process over at BHG.com. And of course you can expect some posts here as well. Once all the projects are completed, viewers can vote for their favorite and the winner will receive a $5000 bonus prize!
And here is the final product of my effort: The Ultimate Grilling Station. Not the typical project you would see here at The Wood Whisperer, but fun nonetheless. And just about anyone can make one with a basic set of tools and a modest budget.
So now the voting begins. Head over to BHG.com and click the green “Register to Vote” button. The registration process is pretty typical but it does ask for your email address. Now all you have to do is look at all the challengers’ projects and vote for your favorite, which hopefully will be my BBQ cart. Although I must say the other projects look fantastic!
Once registered, you should stay logged in and you’ll be able to easily vote every day. The voting is open until June 12th. So I will keep a sticky post at the top of my site just to remind folks about the voting as well as provide a handy link. Thanks guys and I really appreciate your votes!

What…Powermatic doesn’t make grills? :-)
Seriously, with your emphasis on the art of BBQ, I expected you to have a Smokemaster Pro 3000 or something similar. I still have my weber for charwood grilling.
Nice grill station…I like the built-in light fixture. Going over to vote now..

Hi Marc, just signed up and voted for you. They did not ask for a mailing address, just and email – quick and easy. I have the site bookmarked and will try to remember to vote once a day, good luck – but I don’t think you need luck – that project is by far the coolest!.
Medium rare please. :)
Later,

Lew, I posted this on your Woodcraft thread, ” I voted last night just after midnight. The count for Marc was 2706. Today my wife voted at 5 PM, the count for Marc was still 2706. Seems like that is a little fishy, isn’t it? Should have at least gone to 2707 when she voted!!” Has anyone else noticed that? Maybe there should be another vote thread over there again to keep it at the top of the page??

3204…. hmm….. ~20 votes a day…. my math skills must have dulled out… I thought the amount of members we have would put it at a higher rate….
gotta go sharpen and hone myself….(that sounds so wrong.lol)

Ugh! Been voting every day, but we’re getting killed out there! What d’ya want, though, it’s BH&G. They’re all about appearance and ambiance over functionality and usefulness. Anyway, Great Job Marc, as usual!

Marc only had 3204 tonight when I voted. He’s been at that number all week! Am I the only one voting?? Or is this count goofy???

3281…. doesnt make sense at all – but at least it doesnt go backwards…
Nicole – you got the right idea, it’s a friggin’ home decor website, not a woodworking one… they want to see bright colors, sprinkles, and shiny things that look puuurdy.
but we can still make it – I know all those 10K lumberjocks are just WAITING FOR TODAY to vote, and revolutionize the contest….
COME ONE GUYS – This is our ALMOST LAST CHANCE

Topamax – sounds like the voting on the site is somewhat fishy is you said Marc was still at 3204 that day… which would make sense why we’re behind…. once this voting is over, I’m pulling outta there.. even their own website has no taste, and seems flawed as hell.

I looked through the members the other night. 1/2 have posted one or less posts, so they don’t seem to be very active. This is true of most orginizations I have belonged to, less than 10% are the active ones. Less than 1% will ever do any work, not that voting is work :-))

there’s no way those other posts are picking up that much over the last few days – something just doesn’t add up (but apparently it adds up to them…)
