The Oven is Finished

Today is a good day at our house. The outdoor oven is finally finished. We even put some wood in it and tossed in a match. This is another milestone for the house and a check box on the house plan. Tomorrow, I will call the landscaper and get them started on the rest of the yard.

The door to the cooking part is steel and sets in place. I am not completely happy with the metal showing so I think we are going to put a wood clad on it to make it look more like a village oven.


We had to add a piece of stone to make a catch for the door.


Here is the oven with the doors on. The two pipes on the top are the chimneys.


Here is the crew that worked on the oven. They did a great job. On the left is Abdula, next to him is Mhedahib and the boos on the right, Abdul. They are all stone workers from Syria.
