Hello from Cardiff

Hello everyone,,

just thought I'd say hi and what a great resource this site is. Hoping to start building in the next month or so- having new patio laid together with a pad for a shed so going to ask the contractor to lay the slab for a 42 Pompeii oven while they're about.

basically going to use the forno plans- did anyone webhotelli make the plinth bigger to accommodate more insulation and still build a brick enclosure for the dome?

Any re ommendations for good discounts on materials at present?

all the best.

Hi,
I made up a template of my planned oven out of insulation boards - this made it easy to work out things like orientation of slab, size etc. Also it really helps to visualise how it's actually going to be constructed and you can then plan how you'll protect it, whether you'll have a "landing" in front of the oven etc.
Hope this helps,
Mark
