the fun begins

While we wait for our logs to be delivered, Paul and I started to lay out the base of the wood oven to get an idea of its size and placement. The smaller, light colored bricks in the front will form the firebox. You'll see how the rest develops with many photos of the oven building process. We should have about 20 fir logs within the next couple of days, which will all need peeling and some milling. The next month will be very busy (and exciting).

work party

Not really bakery related, but it was a great day yesterday, and I wanted to post a couple of pictures of some of the things we accomplished. We hosted a work party of 5 families yesterday, and got a ton of yard work done. The plant beds were all cleaned and weeded, new plant put in, the sandbox was upgraded, a fire pit built, the old fenced garden was dismantled, and the forest cleaned up.

We ended the day with a potluck party on the new bakery slab, and a bunch of friends and neighbours joined us. It was a great day, and thanks to everyone that took part.
