Hello,
I've been a member for a while, but haven't had a place to actually build an oven. We purchased our first house early this year, and now that we're settled in, I'd like to get to work on the oven.
I've had a lot of trouble deciding where to put the oven, but feel that my wife and I have finally got a decent plan worked out. I thought that I'd throw it on the forum and get opinions from other people with more experience.
The grand plan is to add a 14 foot by 28 foot room extension with an indoor 42" pompeii oven tucked into a corner of the 14 foot exterior wall. We'll add counter top w/ a sink, and possibly a mini-fridge, then use the low-ceiling space behind the counter as a closet for WFO tool storage. The room should theoretically be big enough to hold an 8' regulation pool table and an assortment of little 2 & 4-top tables for friends and family gatherings.
This will be a rather lengthy project, proceeding as funding is available, I imagine it will take us at least 2 years to get the entire thing completed. I want to get started with the oven as phase 1, and plan to pour the foundation for the rest of the room when I pour the foundation slab for the oven.
Have I completely lost my mind with this project? Any glaring problems that I'm not seeing? Any special pointers that will keep us from burning down the entire house will be appreciated as well.
I look forward to everyone's input.
Thanks,
~Scott
