Re: Kemo's South Austin Pizza Oven

Just making sure... you did add support to the little cutout section in the back right? It will not hold without it.

You are on your way Steve!

Looking good.

You gonna pour on Sunday?

By truck or by hand mixing?

Re: Kemo's South Austin Pizza Oven

I have to build the outer frame and decide on the cantilever, if any, and a couple of other things. Before I pour in the concrete, Im going to jam any available 2x4 legs up under the plywood for support. The more the merrier I suppose.

Re: Kemo's South Austin Pizza Oven

and then after consulting with some engineer types here at work, I decided to add some more support to the subflooring on Day Six

Re: Kemo's South Austin Pizza Oven

and Day Five:

I had built the inner frame of the subflooring like so:

Re: Kemo's South Austin Pizza Oven

Re: Kemo's South Austin Pizza Oven

That location is great. The pizza oven with the stone wall backdrop will look really nice!

I was thinking the same...plus, it came with the place (AKA - Free!)

Re: Kemo's South Austin Pizza Oven

Re: Kemo's South Austin Pizza Oven

About that wall there. I'm in a townhome and thats actually a retaining wall there. Behind it is a lot of clay and I high sloping hill. I havent seen anything come out of that hole except a frog! I think its probably clogged with clay. Its as dry as a bone in there.

We had so much rain here this summer and none of the drains ever produced anything. There should be very little, if any water comming out of that hole. Even in the hardest rain.

Re: Kemo's South Austin Pizza Oven

Looking good.. and welcome to the group.

If the pipes in the wall are for drainage from somewhere you might want to consider making a dry well for the water to go down and under the oven slab, caping them off or diverting them.

Several tons of weight, stone wall corner, slab above surrounding grade add water from drains and you have...well, trouble.
