The above link is showing my kiln pad set up in lieu of cement.

This is my very first try at self-sufficiency. I figured I could tackle this after reading how much all of ya'll do.

I'm sure most of you will scoff of the materials cost, but I was in a hurry wanting it done quickly without a lot of upper body strength having to do it myself.

The plumbers started today. They are first attempting to bore under the two and a half width driveway to get to the kiln area. Cross your fingers, toes and eyeballs paleeze.

If you see any problems before moving the kiln, let me know.
