Outdoor clay pizza oven: the build begins!

If the weather was better and I could have a big house and garden and live in the country , I'd move like a shot...

 

400 km South west of Paris.
Or 75km North East of @lost-en-france.

 

You forgot, lower prices, no traffic and the weather, the weather and the weather.

 

FTFY

 

Next step this weekend I hope.

 

Cultesque. As in the Rev Moon's Moonies. Remember them?

 

The mass marriage mob...kind of!

 

We want pizzzzzza

 

Giss a chance, I can only work weekends!
Steel arrives for the base this weekend. Then we start mixing sand and clay. 10 buckets of each Have wellies at the ready to tread it together.

 

Bare footed, let is squeeze between the toes.

 

We'd all get bright orange feet, like inverted munchkins. the clay is the most amazing colour.

 

Oh gawd. Mr and Mrs Perfect. Taunt me why doncha?

 

Saturday's progress.
Sheet steel in place. That was heavy. Nice notch to slide it into.


Then on go the firebricks...and a nice later of sand on top.

Then the bricks on top that will make the base of the oven.


Rain stopped play, dammit. Today is clay mixing day though if the rain stops. But we need three dry days for the build.
So we might finish in 2020!

 

Looks good watching closely

 

Can't you work under a gazebo

 

Errr... wow, suitably impressed

 

Why didn't I think of that?
Actually you'd need sides if it was driving rain. But hmm, yes, good ide if it was just drizzling. And I do have a v moth eaten one somewhere...
