Adobe Stoves #1 and #2 are coming right along! The white maul takes several days to completely harden. While they harden, we are getting the chimneys and other metal coverings prepared so the stoves can be used as soon as possible.
This is Kyle stepping out of the house where the chimneys were custom made for the stoves.
Here is one chimney installed at our very first stove.
And here is the second chimney going up. Mr. Chee (on the left) is the craftsman who made the chimneys.
Sarah, Lindsay and Chloe work to fill stove #2 with white maul.
We use trowels to level the maul to insure a flat future work space.
Sarah and Chloe strike a "shovel pose" at the white maul quarry.
Anyone who has dug here knows that white maul is hard! It also eats at your skin a bit and leaves your hands and feet peeling.
After the maul is excavated, it is filled into bags. Good work there!
The (HEAVY!) bags are lifted to a transport and taken to the adobe stove sites.
