Re: Joe's 42 in Port Townsend
Many thanks to all you guys whose threads I followed that saved me from the "dreaded droop." I think I was able to head it off at the pass! I always wondered what that was all about and sure enough I saw it start to happen with the transition bricks. It's hard to lay out those bricks so they sit where they are supposed to. You can see from the interior shots that the fits are far from perfect but the top edges are level and that's what counts. In the end only the pizzas will ever see those joints! Also, because I started out with full bricks, the interior is not smooth, but "textured" due to the overhang.
Closing in on it now, another 2 courses and I'll be ready for the plug.
Thanks for the compliments.
