Looking really neat Lee, I guess your going to use a sand form or exercise ball for the top few rings ? Paul

Really tidy build, you certainly have more patience than I do. It's quite amazing how quick the mortar will grip isn't it?

Thanks mutteringfool yes the mortar is crazy stuff first time I've worked with grog and fondue cement but if you get the stuff the right consistency it's great. Didn't get chance last night to plug the oven but I'm going to have a go now crank up the sthil saw and make some noise for my neighbours !

Hi Lee, you are doing a great job mate, a lot of very good information too, thanks ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) I'm still at the base stage, well, I'm taking my time, however should be ready to build the actual floor in August when I will have three weeks off work to finish the job and start eating Will create the thread once it gets interesting, I live in South Wales in the valleys so watch this space. Ah, forgot to mention that I'm actually from Napoli... Lol... Looking forward to your next photos, it's a work of art!! Marco
