Progress thus far!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...let me tell you this job STINKS!
I can think of a few other choice words, however this is family owned and operated establishment and I must keep it clean!
I never knew I could do masonry work. I am actually pretty good.
I took a few minutes break to share with you what Mike and I have been doing for the past few days.
We decided to do stone veneers on the outside of the cinder blocks which is the base of the pizza oven.
It truly is like a big heavy puzzle!
A refreshing beverage is mandatory for this job!
Hope to have it done by this evening so I can do the full reveal!
Whew...our achy breaky backs.
This is the one time I wish we had a lot of money to hire out on this job!

Oh my, that really is a lot of hard work. Can't wait to see the finished project. Hugs, Marty
Now THAT is a project! I admire your tackling this together ... it's going to be fabulous! Looking forward to the reveal, as I'm sure you are, too! xo
All your hard work will be worth it in the end:) So far it looks fab
Great idea. I'm wondering how the stones stay there long enough to dry - picturing you and the kids all surrounding the pizza oven with arms and legs all over the place trying to hold them down long enough. Can't wait to see your first pizza come out of there.
Any time I've worked with cement or stone...I understand why masons get the big bucks...hard work!
I totally understand. I am saving money to have the last half of our ceiling project finished by someone much younger than me. Can't wait to see it finished.
That sure is a lot of hard work Debbie but it's going to look fabulous when it's done!! Can't wait for the big reveal (oh and a piece of pizza too:))!! Martina
I bet in the end it will all be worth it!!
Can't wait to see it!!! :)
Such hard work, but the results are sure to be amazing. Looking forward to the final reveal!
Have a great day, Debbie!

your photos bring back achy breaky back memories Deb..
on our 5th home we did columns in from , inside face of the fireplace and the worst- the outer face of the chimney. Carrying those stones up the ladder was excruciating:)
Cant wait what I know will be a beautiful reveal..
Hi Debbie Dear! Your oven is looking great! I know it must be a lot of work so I hope you can get it finished and take a bubble bath! :)
Can't wait to see it all finished.
Maybe you could have a pizza party and invite us all over! :)
Be a sweetie,
shelia ;)
It is going to be so great when you're finished. You'll need more of that refreshment...lol...
I'm eager to see it! I'm sure it'll look fabulous!!
Have a great day.
Pam
So when's the pizza party? I'll bring some wine! ;)
I can taste the pizza already! I wish!! Looking good!
Debbie
You are ambitious!! I really look forward to seeing the big reveal.
I definitely see "back breaker" just looking at the stones, but you know what? Just think of that crisp crust & ooey, gooey cheese....it'll all be worth it in the end!
Just think how much you will love it when it is all said and done and will be so proud of yourselves! It will make the pizza tastes that much better!
Cannot wait to see your finished oven. I know this must be quite a project. I am positive it's going to be great and you "can do" because your are Debbie"doos" :)))) Hang in there!!!
It's going to be so worth it in the long run! We have done some project that I have felt like we should have hired out too. Hang in there!
