Well I managed to scam a partial day off of work today and so I decided to make a run at some of the final bits left on the oven. I made the form for the front lip last night and bent the rebar and mixed up the concrete and got it poured. I had 2 bags left that were sitting under one of my counter tops and were still mostly good. There were a few hard parts but I dug those out. There was just enough to fill the form. I also put a milk house heater on it and mixed with hot water. It is pretty cool out now but not freezing yet. I did it in the garage too so it is warmer in there than outside. I also picked up a few 5/4 ceader tone deck boards. I cut them down and got the wood storage doors built and the parts cut for the storage cabinet door. It is amazing how much sawdust I made doing that. I am excited to get the doors done and installed. That will help keep snow and debris out from under there.

I am about to order a tote of firewood from a local land scape company. I can get .41 cord delivered for just over 300$ so I think I am going to do that. I have spent to much time gathering and splitting wood. It just isn't worth it to me to just go for free anymore. My time is worth more to me than that.

I do not have any pictures as I was just plowing through the work and didn't bother to take any as i went and it was to dark where I was working when I was done.

Well I got lucky and it was in the middle 40's on Saturday so I went ahead and ground the lip down and then got out my way polisher and went all the way up to 800 grit again. It turned out beautiful. I then had a friend stop by and help me lift it into place to check fit and then mixed up a batch of mortar to set it into final place. I think my form may have sagged a little bit as the lip is maybe 1/16 low on both sides and about the same high in the middle but I am going to call that good enough. I also got 2 of the doors built and installed so only one door left and I have all the parts cut for that one already just have to put it together. So all in all it was a productive weekend.
