I have started my oven!

I bought all the refractory stuff from Alphatherm in Markham. They were very helpful. I paid them to deliver the stuff Thursday night. (Welcome to Alphatherm Inc. - About Us)

Alphatherm suggested I buy tapered bricks, which is going to make things interesting. I figure I'll spend weeknights cutting bricks.

I excavated my base and poured the concrete yesterday and hope to do the blocks and floor this weekend.
