hearth! hearth!

Today we (mostly Paul) managed to lay the bricks forming the baking surface of the oven. They need some minor adjustments before we can stick the outer few layers of bricks together, but that should be finished tomorrow. Then we can start putting up the forms for the dome, as well as installing the beautiful doors we had made.

Oh yeah, and Billy was busy working on posts and arch templates. Here's a photo of a pretty much completed post waiting to be erected permanently (insert your own joke here, I'm too tired).
