Well, it’s been 4 days since we poured the slab. It’s so boring watching concrete dry. Actually, I’ve been kept busy wetting it down so it will cure properly. This slab is going to support more than a ton of weight, so it’s very important to ensure that it will be as strong as possible.
The other thing I’ve started doing is gathering materials for the next step. I love going to Home Depot and searching out stuff like mortar mix, angle iron, metal roofing and concrete block.
Here’s a couple of pictures of the piles of stuff I’ve accumulated so far.
Couldn't resist doing a quick mock-up of the oven's innards. This will have to keep me happy until the slab dries
More than 500 bricks. The yellow ones are firebrick for the hearth.
