Looks great Greg. Your fortitude in the cold and snow is inspiring (and chilling ).

Your inner arch looks strong. You did a great job of having your arch bricks wedge-shaped so there isn't any negative pressure to worry about.

I assume you are going to add another arch on your structural inner arch to create the top reveal? If so, that will help hide slight tilt you see.

Xmas lights on your "pizza hut"? Should be a neat picture, please post, -Dino

I know what you guys mean by winter sneaking up on you. Today, driving back from work with my convertible top down I thought to myself, gee my legs are kinda chilly; maybe i should have worn long pants.

Don't we have forum moderators to screen out these kinds of posts?? Hey, at least it's pretty here for 3 weeks in the fall!

Mike, maybe it's time for us mid-westerners to hunker down in the snow and just enjoy the posts from our warmer neighbors to the south and west -- talk to you again in 6 months, after the thaw!

Hey Greg,
Looks like I am going to need some pointers on how to construct a proper PizzaHut.
Those warm climate guys don't know what they are missing...Lucky devils.

Good Morning Greg. Are you ready for the storm coming in? Just a quick FYI... we did a pheasant hunt yesterday up on Fruitridge (i really wish i had my oven built), the guy had a couple of cords of cherry split and aged, stored in his barn. $200.00 a cord. once I'm ready to go, I'll probably contact him and get a rick just for my oven. If you're interested, let me know..

Stony,
We hunted at the Fruitridge farm a few weeks ago -- lots of fun, but we picked a VERY cold and rainy day and didn't do that well. Plus he still had most of the corn standing tall which made it more difficult. I cut down several large cherry trees at the edge of my deck to construct the oven, so I'll be all set next summer! Thanks, and enjoy the blizzard!

don't know if the last post went through.. anyway, i've cut a lot of brick in my shop, bought the duraboard and it's time to start to assemble outside. i noticed that you are using homebrew mortar...what are you using for sand? should i get silica, or just go to lake Michigan and grab a couple of buckets of beach sand??
