and a new floor, yey...

                                            

      and a new floor, yey.... kevin came over today to help me pave the floor in the kiln area, i had lots of pavers to recycle hence the choice over concrete plus the $$ saving. the edges get finished tomorrow and we move the kiln over plus the flue and whirly go in the roof. the studio really feels complete already it will be so nice to be organised and ready to get gas firing again..

fishy has landed

and finally fishy has landed, marvelous what holidays can do time to get all sorts of things done without having to dash off half way through a job..

fishy has been waiting a fair time to get the edging tiles done so i dashed off to club yesterday to use slabby roller, the edge tiles will be cobalt to give a strong edge to the piece and they should be ready this week, yey....

and what a lovely surprise ross has done the concrete slab for the gas cage it had to be moved as it was too close to a door opening and then we're ready to get on with the plumbing for the gas kiln, double yey...thanks rossco..
