    I finished coating the entry and vent pipe with vermcrete.

    I won't bore anyone with details, but here are the pics
    Looking good! I hope to begin my layer of percrete this week followed by the stucco.

    The metal repair on the arch looks first class.
    Thanks Ken.

    I was beginning to think you ran off with George.

    Glad you're back!

    Mickey Mouse again this year?

    Now for some action.

    I added more chicken wire and mortar..
    I finally closed it in.

    And let me tell you, I think it felt better than placing the keystone!


    The first pic is what the top looked like. I added more vermiculite for extra insulation.

    Everyone needs tools.

    So here are mine that I used to work on my oven finish...

    The hoe is the same hoe I started this project with... Although I did have to change the handle after burning it up .....

    I've said it before, but one thing your falling bricks do show is how stable these domes really are... even if you loose a brick or two (or four ), the dome doesn't just tumble down, and you can fix it.

    Good work!
    thanks Frances!!

    You are so nice.

    I was pretty bummed.... but I had to get back on the horse.... I guess that's my nature.

    Thanks for shout out!
