After catching up last month I have fallen woefully behind again. I have too many things to make one big catch-up post so I am going to throw these posts up quickly to get current but not leave out any fun stuff. Hang with me, here we go.
On Friday we loaded the wood kiln at
Hal and Corine's place in Lawndale. Hal climbs in the groundhog kiln and loads the pots using a very sophisticated transport system: a laundry basket that we slide back and forth over the firebox on two boards. Hey, it works.
There were a lot of pots to load but he got them all in and the basket made many trips. After that, it was time to shovel the old ash and charcoal out of the firebox so we could fill it up again when we fired it.
After everything was done it was time to go home. We'd be back tomorrow to heat it up.

| Yup, it's really Hal. |

| That's a hard-working man. |

| That's a finely loaded kiln. |
