Hay Crew,

Wuhu... A couple good days last week made up for it being too hot to do
much these last two days off. My buddy Dave and his new gal came to visit
too so I had a good excuse not to over do it. Still last week I imagined
a shelf or two for the back of the chamber and from there went on to
develop the side brick layers and around into more or less how I want the
Bourry to hook up to the chamber at the throat arch. This folder is
getting pretty big so I'm gonna try to make a cutoff point at 4 pages but
for now here is more thinking in brick...

I'm starting to see how the base of the hob needs to be just a bit wider
to hold longer sticks but i have brick that will do that. Once I get more
brick moved down to the kiln I'll start lagging it together. The pile of
brick is looking smaller and I might need to buy another pallet. Guess I
put off new teeth till next year eh! Stay in there eh!
