Pizza oven #4


The base for the pizza oven progresses. I am getting a bit better at block laying, but I'm sure I'm Auckland's slowest. The Magazine article author, Robin Overall, said that the blocks should just be laid on each other and then filled with concrete, it would be faster and more accurate for people who haven't laid block/bricks before and I'm sure he is right.

I decided to mortar the block together as i) I wanted to learn how and ii) as its 2m tall I wanted more strength while I am pouring the concrete into the blocks. I've added a bond beam, again due to it's height and the length of it.
