Bill's epic oven build continues.
After laying the hearth slab cooking surface, he built three oven walls.
He also made this edgey part. As the chair of the oven decorating committee, I assisted in the selection of these bullnose tiles. These are the first parts of the oven that will still be visible when it's all done. All the rest of this stuff will get covered in insulation, concrete and eventually a pretty facade.
The roof of the oven is built on top of an arch form. There will be three rows of bricks when the roof is done.
The rows have to be built one at a time, though and they have to cure before the form can be removed and the next row added. Bill is working on row two today.
It's starting to look more like a pizza oven every day!
The oven is being built just outside our kitchen, about 15 yards off our concrete picnic table and grilling area. We selected a flat, open area as close to the house as was feasible.
And, naturally, Bernie had to approve the site before we started construction.
Fortunately, he likes pizza too.
