another step forward

While Paul and I were in Nanaimo picking up supplies for the oven today, Gordy stopped by and back-filled around the foundation, so that we now have nice level terrain around the building.

A couple of days ago we put up the tarp so we can keep working in case one of those rare west coast rain days comes along. We picked up some of the mortar and concrete mixes we will need to start the oven, as well as 10 of the approximately 60 bags of zonolite we will use as insulation under and above the baking area of the oven. We're planing to start sticking the cinder blocks together tomorrow.
