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.

Five pieces 75mm thick each piece approximately 50kg
wedges to crack it open

Yippee found the comment box. Love your new oven. What will you cook in it? You could feed the whole of Barabra. where was the glorious sunset?
Sunset was here last week. That's Mount Kaputar in the distance. It's the view I get from the Japanese bath on the verandah, although wasn't in the bath at the time.
I'll cook pizza, bread, roast dinners in the oven. I could fit a whole dog in it. I have a plethora of dogs here right now.
Thanks for the comment Big Sister.
