 Re: 4 courses up... and a big question
Sorry, just saw your Picassa. You don't need to sweat things. Do go back and mortar the inside areas to create a flush wall, and clean as you go.
As for the outside wall, I prefer to have my mortar flush with bricks as I go as well, and you can do that too. You have 1-2 days of clean up to do with this.
Give the mortar a day to cure, then find your dome floor center. Once found, be sure your dome is circular for each course. You may not be at the arch, but worry about that later. For now, you can use a marker, or whatever, with a string for consistancy, and mark irregular spots. Once done, use your grinder and carefully shave the walls to create the nice round dome wall. Trust me, better now, then further issue later. I have done it on my 6th and 7th course and am glad I did. |
