Here we go... the scene couple of weeks ago.
Notice the card board sheet on top of the mixer to keep down dust. Also, a mixer like this is essential for mixing the industrial castable - ESSENTIAL. I can't emphasize it enough. So many problems with the material and so much pain and time could have been minimized by using this mixer throughout the whole building process.
This roller ramp also came in really handy for getting the trays of castable up to the working area.
This is the insulating layer - a mix of sawdust, sandy fill dirt, and concrete mix. We applied over the castable with fencing wire reinforcement. It was so refreshing to use this mix after dealing with the thixotropic craziness of the castable.
This is looking up over the side door, over the swelling flue chamber, and onto the giant block chimney... those blocks.... details in another post.
