I dug the hole for the foundation summer "02, over 100 degrees

Jimmy and Mary Lee helped get, mix, and pour 10 bags of cement.

Jimmy and I wishing we had a few more bags of cement.

Cracked carburndum shelves were placed on top of the cement, with firebrick on top.

Joan helping build the fireboxes.

Two firing chambers made of firebrick.

Me, making sure things are level.

Working the chamber up to the arch support, Joan takes a rest.

Angle irons are put up, wooden arch form in place.

75 #1 arch bricks have been placed and mortored with Sairset.

wooden support was eased out, and the arch didnt fall!
