Re: Chirobuggy's 42inch oven build
I was not sure how thick the patio was because it was two different pours spanning 5-6 years. different contractors and I didnt trust the existing foundation. Turns out it was about 3.75- 4 inches with rebar at 16 inches. Im glad I tore it up. Rather be sure than to have issues come up later

Why did you cut your patio? You already had your foundation, that would have saved you time and money.

Chirobuggy's 42inch oven build
Well after lurking around for a year in 2009, I was set to make my oven...had plans...had so many of the pioneers of this web sites pages bookmarked and indexed I thought I was set. Then changed my mind on where in the yard to put it like 7 times. then got busy with the three kids and soccer, football, and wrestling.. now I find myself three years later still having pizza night with the kids using a pizza stone in the GE oven!
That's been bugging the heck out of me for the last three years. Always lurking in the back of my mind nagging at me. So I was driving on the road with a friend of mind near Berkley Ca and saw a truck about 200-250 yards ahead of me with a familiar shape tucked in the back his truck with some Coleman camp chairs and stuff. I told my friend Tony, "Hey, that guys got a pizza oven in the back of his truck!" Tony said ..."what are you talking about?" I told him to speed up and showed him what was obviously a igloo type pizza oven.He asked how I could see that from so far away and I told him that I have looked at so many threads on FOrno Bravo that I recognize the oven like I would my kids!
so I told him the story of how I had been trying to get started building this oven but haven even broken ground in three years.
Well the wait is over. I solidified the pan for my oven and rented a concrete saw and cut away my patio this morning. It is going to be a corner build, 42" and Im stoked!! (no pun intended)
so here is the start of the beginning of my oven build. Have patience as I am not sure as to how fast i will get the thing done. I'm shooting for end of September? Oct?
Don't know if I will have anything fancy or groundbreaking like many on the forum, but want to say thank you for all that you guys have shared. I know there are many people lurking like me and gaining from the knowledge and the continued input of those that have finished their ovens.
Thank you! I would not have the confidence I have right now without your posts and pictures.Tags: None
