  • Re: new build in werribee

    Didn't do much today cut out all bar the keystone for course 12.

    Found another use for my dismantled IT.... thought this is cool, using it as a stand for course 12. Will use Giannifocaccia method of gouging the top bottom and sides of bricks worked a treat over the last 2 courses once positioned they don't budge no IT needed either.

    Plug is quite sizeable as I had to cut the top angle off the arch bricks as they were tilting in over 90deg, now they are sitting at about 87deg [just to get that wedge happening]. I will need to use the tile offcuts I kept, for the plug and do it in 2 horizontal pieces. Octoplug achieved thanks John.

    I have done the best I can to stay on bond all through the build and other than one spot on course 12 have managed to achieve this.

    Have something special like Russell's plug planned. Not sure how to go about it yet but stay tuned.

      Looking good Colin. Almost there, can't wait to see your plug design and logo. Nice brick work, hope you plug her soon...

          That must be some kind of hint (maybe from a Libra?) just guessing.

              I am curious to know what attachment you used to etch your keystone.

              Any chance of a photo.

                        Not sure if anyone is out there waiting [to see the photos] for my oven to be closed up. but it ain't happenin for a while , checked the calendar, September is full up going away next weekend, following weekend doing some other stuff around the house in preparing for Sons 21st, then his 21st, and football finals in between all of the that. Sort of a rest period for me after 4 bouts of viruses one after the other.

                        I am also waiting on some materials for my plug and will need to trial what I am going to do with it first. Cannot see me getting to plugging until mid October.

                        I do have a question -------------- did anyone, or am I imagining this, clean the inside of their oven with Vinegar solution, or neat vinegar? I remember reading this somewhere but cannot find it.

                                Sorry I don't think it's safe for anyone to put themselves in an oven with vinegar fumes or anything of that nature . It's downright dangerous. A space like that has no ventilation and once in it your body blocks the entrance which makes it worse.
