Got some more work done yesterday.

Here is what my yard looks like, its a mess.



Here are the door arches that were poured the day before.

Then we added color to the finish layer

We then sprinkled little peddles all over the slab, once we polish the concrete the pebbles should show up, hopefully they stay in place.



All done

Wow! V-wiz,
Don't worry about how your yard looks. It is a construction zone . I love the monolithic arches, the counters, and especially the corner build. This is going to be good!

You have been a busy boy. I made a thread showing a half a dozen polished concrete threads. Do a search for concrete counters and you will find my thread and it will give you good examples.

Re: 42" Brick Oven & Grill in Los Angeles.

Ive been pretty busy, not working on the oven, . Life is just not allowing me to work on it. Today i picked up 3 more Cal-Sil boards, i was in town by Pacific insulation and decided to pick up some more boards, since the 10 boards i had may not be enough to have a 4" floor.



On another note, can anyone help with rough dimensions for the entry floor? width x length. Thanks.

Regarding dimensions for the entry floor - if this describes the area under the chimney. Most taper the entry width to allow easily use of a door. A big decision is how deep to make it. If you make it shallow (one brick), it is easier to reach into the oven- and you have to work a bit harder to maintain a large cross section as you transition to your chimney, If you make if deeper (one and a half bricks)

Small update, i just scored 300 free used/vintage bricks. They were removed from his house 25 years ago, the bricks are from 1907. These are "Simons" bricks and are stamped with that name. So far i have about 1,100-1,200 vintage red bricks. Ooh how i love these bricks.
