minor change of plans

Nothing major, but we figured that since we'll likely have heat to spare, we'd get into the bath house business as well. We're going to have an assortment of "traditional" baths, all heated by the wood fired oven. People will be able to enjoy a relaxing soak in the tub and a warm scone at the same time.

We've now stuck down the first row of bricks for the dome, and are waiting for a friend's brick saw before continuing. We also borrowed a couple of scaffolding stages, and I took a panoramic photo of the building site (there are a couple of glitches, so I'll try to get a better one after the rain stops). It is once again the day before the market, and this afternoon will be spent prepping for the long night and day ahead. Hopefully the rain clears by tomorrow morning :)

movin' on up

Today Paul & I stuck down the perimeter hearth bricks, and brought down the two door frames to decide on how we want to mount them. The one that is upper center is the door we will put the bread in/out through. The actual door part is obviously not there for the photo. We have a few more plywood forms to cut for the dome, and we want to install the doors before starting on the dome.
