| Re: I've finally started our oven in Costa Rica If my dome holds true to the drystack layout I did almost a month ago, I've only got three more courses plus the center keystone to go. I'm amazed that I still haven't had to use any support. I assume this has to do with the tapered bricks... since there's less mortar, there's probably more friction holding everything in place? I must admit, I'm getting tired... these last few courses have taken me as long or longer each one than the first ones. The bricks are harder to cut (probably a combination of me getting down to the lighter colored bricks -- see earlier posts -- and that the blades I'm using might be wearing down.) I'm also cutting the corners so the bricks fit together better in the circle. Makes for slow work. Anyway, hope to finish the dome tomorrow or Monday, then I can start working on the landing. All for today... c.

| Costa Rica dome is finished! I put the last bricks in the dome tonight, and feel great! But it's late, and I'm exhausted, so I'll just post some pictures and share my thoughts tomorrow.
