buildling an electric kiln

I've recently become interested in Building my own electric kiln,
because of the possibility to build a really energy efficient kiln for
cone 6 firing and possibly an occasional cone 10 firing as well. I've
already got a couple of books on kiln building, the kiln Book by Fred
Olsen for example. So what I really would like to know is if anyone out
there has built their own electric from scratch and could possibly share
their expirience. I understand its more common to bulid your own gas
kiln, and fairly uncommon to build electric, nevertheless I'd like to
have a go at it. Any response would be greatly appreciated.

thanks Chris
