Hope all had a happy holiday and a happy new year. Here are some photos so far and I will send the rest when the film is done ,I have lite 2 fires so far and will make a pie on saturday or sunday.and a nice glass of wine.
I put 23 coats of vermiculite and portland on the chimminey is working good so far, will put the finish coat of stucco on once I know how well the oven is holding the heat.
