Yes I am going to just get on with the vermiculite pour and stop faffing around. Thanks for the link to your construction Neill.

Readie,
the first post of my oven construction was mistakenly put under 'Pompeii oven construction' but the continuation of the oven is found at:
http://www.fornobravo.com/forum/f21/...-4-a-2045.html (Neill’s Pompeii #4)
where I was continuing with the build. I lost #9 posting (James put it under 'Pizza' thread:
http://www.fornobravo.com/forum/f10/...zzas-2117.html (Making First Pizzas)
and I continued with the build and illumination at:
http://www.fornobravo.com/forum/f21/...10-a-2119.html (Neill's Pompeii #10)
The cooking parts are at:
http://www.fornobravo.com/forum/f25/...-veg-2158.html (Neill's pizzas, breads and roast lamb with veg)
and the last posting, ie. the oven doors is:

I hope this helps you out with your build.
It really is a very simple task to build especially with the help and assistance gained through this forum.
If you have any queries, please feel free to contact me direct through the link 'send a private message to ?????' located when you click on Nissanneill.
Good luck and enjoy!.

Only too happy to help out.
I just recieved a parcel from one of your fellow UK residence, a 10 station thermocouple switch. He undersold it to me with a gross underestimate for postage.
Forewarded the difference to him this morning.
Please feel free to contact me should you have any queries with your build.
I have tried to give a straight foreward photographic building progress and explanation as I see it as a relatively easy task if you look at one simple task at a time, rather than at the final overall project.
This forum makes life very easy if you take the steps, one at a time.... you will get there and if you keep working on it, quicker than you think. I found that I was excited at the progress and consequently built mine in the rain, just got around the inconvenience with a simple tarp strung up over the actual oven. It was in fact fun to build and now I am enjoying it, as are our family and friends.
Now I need to get into the patio and pergola renovations that will take a lot more time and money, but what the heck, live and enjoy!
Still have a lot to learn about cooking as this is now getting me into unknown territory, but have not had a 'disaster' as yet, first pizza didn't look too flash, but by hell it tasted fine, first bread - one was a little scorched, but know and have solved that problem!
I hope you enjoy it as much as the rest of us.
All the very best.

Neill
