Door Arch is COMPLETE!

It is raining and raining and raining today. BUMMER! BUT... Because I have a canopy over the oven I can work on the arch. I built a sand arch to support the bricks and used my clay/sand mix as mortar. I also created a hole for the chimney using a plastic pot as a place holder. (that's the black thing at the top of the door. The bricks at the front of the door are just there to keep the wet sand form in place. They'll go away once things are dry those fire brick will be used to build the grill after the oven is done. The sand form stays until its dry. That might take a while due to the wet weather. BUT that's not a bad thing. Clay likes to dry slowly. It doesn't crack as much. So, I need to stop whining and let nature do its thing.
