George's Pompeii progress

[Acoma]

Les, are you saying that building is to pick up again?

[Inishta]

Great looking doors GJ............you just can't beat good neighbours...........

[Frances]

Cool! Nice doors!

...Can you send him over here when he's finished on your oven? (Not that I need any doors, but I'm sure I can come up with something )

[gjbingham]

Frances,
He said he'd love to come and work for you - just send tickets!

Walt and I went out in the pouring rain today and put the new doors in. We set them outside the base walls by an inch to leave room for a finish on the walls - whenever that day arrives.

He finished them off with copper strips, kind of giving them a wine barrel effect. I love the look. They should oxidize pretty cool over time too.

Wouldn't you know it, as soon as we were done, the rain stopped. A half hour later it was sunny. Poor timing for the working side of the morning. Great for pics though.

Have a great day!
George

Ooooh nice!
Fits in very well with the colour of the dome and the climbing frame!

In Switzerland we have a saying: "rain makes you beautiful" - and it sounds as if you got your full dose for today. ...well, it worked on the oven anyway, very beautiful

George and all... I am back in business, I updated my post... in the process to build the core...George you built the corner frame, which is what I am doing as well....any suggestions before I proceed? I saw you built a square corner..is it to get more landing space?
Other question is regarding the heat resistant panel to put on the core....any suggestions on which kind to buy and where (internet)? thanks to all Carlo

Les...

So far I'm glad I did my stand as a "H" form with entry from both ends, I can't imagine crawling to the back to get something.

George, he did a wonderful job, are you bribing him with pizza or beer? Or both? What type of a finish are you thinking of for the stand?

Wouldn't a spigot coming off the the dome match the wine barrel thyme?

My thoughts exactly! I think RC is on to something big here.

Got room for a kegerator in there!

You could always store wood on the side of the house or something.

Probably too hot for beer - but it could dispense melted cheese for the fresh baked pretzels
