well the firing has started. Late is better than not happening so life is good!
As I arrived last night at 10 pm for my shift of starting the fire, I noticed that there were people standing in the kiln! My fears were confirmed as I approached through the dark that in fact they were still loading and had two thirds of the front stack still to go. As always I pitched in as much as possible.
By 11, Chris had to go home and Louise went off to sleep as she was to take a shift at 2- 7. They had managed to get one more shelf in by then.
A very tired Cam and I worked hard an had the rest loaded by 3 am. and the fire in the bottom of the chimney going by 3:30.
This left the door to be bricked up which took about another hour.
The fire box was lit by 4:30, I was off to sleep!
I had a lovely wake up call from my son Alec at 7:30 and headed back out to take my shift til 1pm. This morning was breezy and cold, but the farm is looking wonderfully inviting this time of year.
Here's a pic in the door and lets try a video!
