Default New Oven started

Hello fella's!

This project is several months in the planning and finally the weather is warm enough to get started on a new oven in our back yard.... (we are in Bend, OR elevation 3,500 feet).

The intention is a 36" Pompeii Oven. The start point is a strip footing (below the local frost line) with the dry stack CMU base. Local supplier was selling 'seconds' with a colored, 'split face' CMU. I was planning to stucco the base, but like I the CMU well enough to keep it as is. I will fill the cells with concrete tomorrow.

Hope to have the hearth in place by the weekend.

Thanks to James for providing this great resource for this growing subculture - WFO's.
