Hay Crew,
Well it finally happened! I moved all but a couple new brick down to the
kiln to dry run stack the firebox and pignose and set the rest along
where the walls will be and realized I needed to buy another pallet of
brick...

Wuhu, that's a long address eh! just click the picture or next to see the
pretty final development of the pignose and hob. I still need to decide on
the wall between that will hold the secondary air ports and the mousehole.
I'm wondering what would happen if I didn't put one there and used the
pignose stoke hole to control secondary air. I don't know that I would
have the control with one hole as with a few in the wall.
So it was back to the brick yard two days ago. I got my usual late start
but after 6 days in a row at Wally World I was a wreck, even the potters
toe was starting to blow up, so I took a piece of a pill and went to bed
for a while until I couldn't stay there anymore and headed to Miller's.
The first trips managed two small loads of brick and two bags of castable
on Wednesday and offloaded it before hitting a meeting. Then the next day
I went back for the rest and had a chance to show Alan, the sales guy, a
few shots on the camera of what all I'm doing with his brick. I invited
him out to the first fire and give 'er a stoke and he said his wife and
kids would get a kick out of it too. Humm, maybe some cheep labor eh?
Then I loaded the rest. Good thing I toped up the tires to their rating
to carry their limit of 1554lbs. cause if my math was right the brick
came to 1542lbs. Add me, a full gas tank, and Olof and we were a pinch
over loaded. If the math was off a bit, oh well, what the hell, it's a
Ford, it can take it! Only rules are no quick starts, no quick turns, and
manually lock out of "D-overdrive" into "D". Handled it just fine, didn't
hit any deer, and got it offloaded in time for a meeting. That's enough
stoop labor for a while!
