phoenix fast fire - #3

Hello All,

Building Phoenix Fast Fire wood burning kiln - #3

Wooden frame built and in place.
Building up side and back walls - 4 rows up, 2 stretchers deep. (This gave
us 5 rows of firebrick)
Used "smalls" as outside for 2nd row of firebrick. This provides space for
steel frame.
Problem: Had to manipulate half bricks to insure alternating seams.
Concerns: Strength, level, and the arch.

My, it is getting more difficult to keep up notes and find time to post them
here. So please let me know if anyone is reading this and interested in
hearing more and I will gladly continue. TIA
