progress

Today we continued with the oven. We started building the fire box, using both insulating bricks (white), and fire bricks (orange). The fires will be built on a grate which sits on the supporting rows of bricks along the edges of the bottom of the the fire box.

We also cut and installed most of the wonder board in the base of the oven, which will get covered with a mixture of zonolite and portland cement tomorrow. The zonolite mix will be around 10" thick. On top of that will be many more insulating bricks.

We also received more logs to peel today, and maybe we'll get around to some more peeling and milling tomorrow.
