Re: K79 Oven Build

Ok, I have to grout my joints and do an acid wash on the stone and I'll be DONE !! Just a little bit of landscaping around my work area and it's Miller time. Next Saturday is our first Annual Pizza Party at the house. Can't wait. What a marathon !

Looks great! It is a great inspiration for me and your food has looked great too! Excited to view the final product. Can you take a picture of the oven placement in reference to your house so I can give it some dimension?

Thanks for the comments. The food tastes great too

Here's a photo for reference to the house. It's a few months old.

First off, thank you stonecutter for recommending those gloves for me. I put on surgical gloves first (to keep my hands dry) then the ones you recommended and my hands are perfect. Thanks !!

Here's a pic of where I'm at. Hoping to finish it up by next weekend. Wow did I just say that !! 5 months start to finish. It's raining here today so after work I'll be doing my tile for my hearth landing.

Try it and see, it doesnt look like too much to replace even if it does fall out.

This is the mortar I'm worried about. All around the arch:

Re: K79 Oven Build

I don't think that it would. The entry s/b close to ambient temp.

Re: K79 Oven Build

Ok guys in a jam. Is finally nice out here in Maine and I got a full days work in on the oven enclosure. I got my decorative arch in and used UMACO to mortar my stones on. The problem is my wife lined up a small gathering in a few hours for a small pizza party. Is the heat from the oven going to damage the curing process of my mortar around my oven opening?

That's a good price. For natural rounds they are $14 all locations!! New England fieldstone are $12

Yeah I got lucky and bought them in the spring when the local stone yard was having an open house.

Re: K79 Oven Build

what did you end up paying for the veneer per sq foot?

Re: K79 Oven Build

Also, you should not be pointing with your fingers....get a tuck pointer for that task.




This one should be about right for your joint size.

I don't always wear gloves, but when I do, I use Atlas Dipped gloves.
