42" Pompeii in Kentucky

Re: 42" Pompeii in Kentucky

Thanks for the comments. I would like to pour the slab next but after thinking about it a bit I think it will be much easier to lay the brick veneer on the front of the hearth stand before the concrete is poured. There will be a concrete ledge all the way across the front on which the pool coping will bond that will create the landing and I think it would be much more difficult to lay the brick after its in place. I knew this project would be labor intensive but this is going to be more work than I anticipated. By the way, I don't know if you can tell from the pics but the section of the hearth stand to the left will support a grill that will be recessed into the wall.

Thought I would start a thread showing progress on my oven. I have been waiting forever it seems for nice weather to start my build. Today I got tired of waiting, I covered the area with a tarp and layed the blocks for the stand today even though it rained 2 inches.
