Re: Starting my WFO in N. Carolina

Hey Carl, I've been away from this for a few months. I'm going through it page by page and your build looks great!

Hi Paul. Thanks for the compliments. As you know, it's alot of work. The dome is finished, I just need to get the photos posted yet. I plan to start on my archway for the bottom area next, (if it ever quits raining ) which will be brick. How are you coming along w/yours?

Re: Starting my WFO in N. Carolina

I finished up my dome a couple of days ago and here are the latest photos. Next to work on is the brick arch for the bottom storage area.

Great. Looking forward to seeing it. Way too much rain around here lately to get much done. I wish we could send it all out west, where they can sure use it.

Thanks for sharing. I'm sure lots of builders will love to go that route. I looked at it and thought it was interesting. Anything anyone can use to make their build easier for them is a good thing.

Thank you and I agree. Seemed appropriate to have a couple in celebration of the pluggin'. The brewer is building a new plant in the area, by the Asheville Airport. It's supposed to be really nice, complete w/a restaurant, tours, etc. I might have to check it out.

I finished my bottom arch today and here are a few photos. Next, after laying a few more blocks and doing a little form work, I will pour my hearth slab extension. I'll let that set up a few days then start building my first vent arch, w/a heat break between the arches. I planned it so I can use the same arch template for the vent arches as I used for the bottom arch.

That looks great! Very interested to see how the vent turns out. Good job!
