Charley at rest, Joe and Christy at work

Work on the kiln continues.... Charley's resting in front of the first flue. The whole floor will be raised to that level. Maybe a waste of firebrick to have 15" of firebrick footers, but the large blocks lay quite fast and I think we have enough to make it all happen. We accidentally had the whole kiln dug out a little too deep and the extra tall footers help to remedy that, and ease my heaving worries.
