Today I will begin constructing the forms for the foundation. Yea!
Is it necessary to check with a fire department official re placement of oven? I'm sure every jurisdiction is different, but perhaps someone has some advice on avoiding snags.
Has anyone considered the idea of using styrofoam or styrospan sheets (made by Dow Chemical) in place of the 3/4" plywood. I'm thinking of using a styrospan sheet then applying glue to the top of it before pouring the vermiculite/concrete mix so that the two will adhere. My thinking on this idea is: I will get greater insulation through the bottom of the oven when the styrospan is left in place after removing the supports; it will be cheaper; it is easier to work with.
Thanks for your interest, Davy
