Grassy 36 at BG - build log

Up to row 11. Almost there.

Installed missing bricks in row 6 and completed row 7. Things getting more and more vertical.

Got over the arch . Not the best, but very usable. For row 6 each brick is cut into 3 pieces with bevel of 3.5 degrees. Bricks that sit above the opening created somewhat of a hump, will be grinding this down a bit.

4 rows complete. Playing with the arch

After quite a bit of prep work I finally stepped into construction of the oven itself. Steps of Foundation and oven base can be found here :

vermiculate-concrete Hearth sits on top of 4" structural slab. It is 5" thick to match the height of front face bricks and oven floor. 2" of rockwool rigid insulation sheet is embeded under the brick floor.
Gave the hearth few days to harden and laid the floor bricks . 1:1 mixture of sand and fireclay is heaven to work with.

my biggest effort of these 3days however was the Argentinian grill section that I'm building as part of the project. Started lining the walls firebrick (my brickwork improved substantially) and my pride and joy - entry Arch .
