Do you know how much you have spent so far? Or what you might be in it for when completed?

Are you building a larger model?

Thanks again for your help,
Eddie
I'm building a 42" and costs are as follows
$272 for foundation, 94 for renting a mixer
$185 for stand
$ 99 for cement hearth (I did all my cement work using PC, gravel and sand)
$184 for Hearth floor included Insulation Blocks
$543 for Dome including 193 for 3" of ceramic blanket (50sf)
$1283 total spent before chimney and then stone exterior

So far I've bought 225 firebricks and 3 bags of Heat Stop 50, probably will need 20 more bricks - I've messed some up at the arch

If you can get ready mix to your build site, it wouldn't have cost me much more and pouring the hearth so far has been the hardest.
