Re: Acoma 42" Tuscan

Thanks Kemo. Hearth still curing well. I had 220 feet of 3/8in. rebarb. Lets say it will be very strong.
I picked up 150 bricks at .30 each. 50% being excellant condition, 25% being very good, and 25% being so-so. It will take some time and practice getting all cleaned up and ready. I will be picking up another 150 in about a month.

That stand looks really good. Nice, clean work. I'm looking forward to more updates.

George, I am buying bricks tomorrow, just got the Refmix today, and should see the SuperIsol any day. I will not set up the area for efficiency. I will need to grid the hearth, and line the area for bricks, insulation. Once done, it is vertical (slow, steady, and minimal mistakes). My hearth is curing well.

Re: Acoma 42" Tuscan

Good to hear. Time to start putting down some brick, huh?
I recommend taking a bucket of warm water out with you if you're working in the AM. Soak your hands and bricks in it to stay semi-warm.

George, it is staying north of us. No snow forcasted for at least the next week. Days in the 40's, nights in the 20's.

Re: Acoma 42" Tuscan

Hows the weather holding up? We had a ton of rain in the past couple of days. Should be coming your way, probably as snow.

Re: Acoma 42" Tuscan

Thanks Ken, that was the area I stressed most on. I was scared it would detach, but all is curing well.

Re: Acoma 42" Tuscan

Well, I am still attempting to figure out how to attach thumbnails. Meanwhile, I have decided to remove forms after a few checks and persoal curing satisfaction. Tarps go on at night still. I have a Halogen lamp underneath to help with process. I have ordered my Refmix, Insulation board, and hopefully this weekend, will pick up bricks?
