Making a wood burning oven "The Pour"

We are getting ready to pour the hearth slab. First we did a few things to get ready:

Blocked up the mortar tray so we wouldn't have to bend over so much


Blocked up in front of the mixer so we had a level place to stand at a good height for pouring concrete out of the bags


Duct taped the seams so we would have fewer drips and puddles


Made a couple of screeds to rough level the concrete


This product wants about 2 1/3 gal water per bag so we marked a bucket accordingly

Mix Mix Mix

Pour Pour Pour




And three hours later, there you go

Say good night Gracie, we'll see you in a couple of weeks


And now for something completely different...
