Almost there...

The chimney was completed. The cedar went on, and the last brick was laid.  We are getting close to the finish line.  Tomorrow we will stain the cedar, shingle, and then stucco the concrete block.

Lookin' good.

First Fire

Work continued on the walls today, and Mike laid-out the oven's side table.  Most importantly, however, I got to see the oven's first fire.  This is part of the curing process. There was a lot of wet concrete poured, and the fire will push the moisture out and dry it up.
