Hello guys!
Another rookie on here but what I will share with u might scare you, either that or make u laugh.... In which case I will be really devastated n sad..
However I had a dream... Of building a pizza oven cheaply using what I had, with barely any spending... Fat chance!
I woke up with an idea of building it on a round wooden table... it slowly dawned on me there Was a reason PPl haven't done that.
I already had got hold of a round table 1.2m diameter.
And have gotten hold of abt 100 plus clay pavers and have few at home in red that I can steal from around the house and just made a call to source some of that special mortar mix ppl talk of and is $49 in Kent town! Jus add water - refractory mortar.
Till I had another brainwave of turning it over and using the bottom as the base For the oven...
So thus far I have removed legs and laid some spare cement pavers and have cemented over them! $5 something at mitre 10 - 2 bags! It's now pretty solid!
Once that is done my "plan", I think is to build a wall for the insulation layer.... And for that I was considering sea sand and the wine bottles kinda setup I've seen online... ??
Alas I am unsure when I will get to that stage as atm it seems too heavy in the state it is in ((((
LOLOL!! Sigh!
I have no base 8/ as in strong structure to place the floor I have created and to sit this upon!
It's currently sitting on a steel potting trolley bench that for a few moments I thought I could leave it on. But is not the safest thing to do as it is in no way attached .... Plus the trolley houses the existing "build" a bit to close to the house and needs moving!
At the moment I can barely push the trolley and the table top invention is pretty heavy. I will start praying that it can be moved! Hubby is not keen on any of my projects and i usually do them alone so atm I have to work out an area to place the cement/wood base and prep it befor enlisting his help so I can start my build....
I measured and measured but there is NO spot with a 4 metre clearance and the only area I favour placing it is next to a shed and a metre away from a trellis and 2-3m away from a gum tree. While I dnt believe they will b in danger, I wanted to ask what are my options of making this happen!! And if later adding a wall around 3 sides (if it ever happens) makes a difference to safety.
The area described above needs to be prepared too and I need to slowly saw away an existing tree stump, lay sum pavers there, source some blocks to build a low base... Then only can I place the tabletop/cement piece on it and start building up... This area is raised and would be accessible easily from a step down cemented portion of the garden. Pretty confusing without photos but I will try to load some later if I can.
From your experience, Can you guys see this happening?? Should I just throw in the shovel?
My next door neighbours dnt seem friendly at all and Won't be happy if any smoke comes there way and while it will be 4m from there boundary, it will not meet spec in terms of being near my shed and not have the 4m clearance around it... So it is risky.
Sigh!
