Hi. Was going to start at the beginning of my haphazard house renovations in the last eighteen months but I decided to do it round the wrong way.
So starting with the latest project which is my new oven. Here's a pictorial progression.
Started with a load of sand
pieces joined together and supporting girdle in place
steel frame for underneath oven
two layers of 25mm furnace insulation
making last layer of concrete
granite arch to finish
thats it
now will make a base for it, maybe two bases- one for the garden and one to go on a trailer.

| Fabian looked after the dogs, made a nice pork roast and was helpful during his stay. He liked my truck too! |
Five pieces 75mm thick each piece approximately 50kg
wedges to crack it open

now will make a base for it, maybe two bases- one for the garden and one to go on a trailer.
