Tonight's haul:

800 lbs. Quickcrete mix (10 80 lb. bags)

2x4x4' boards for forms.

Nails.

Stakes.

Hi Temperature Paint (3 cans - Forest Green)

Sawzall blades

The barrel stove door, brackets, collars, and dampers also arrived in the mail.

After flaggerx and I got back from our Home Despot adventure, we prepped the site / garage for tomorrow, where we'll dig, set the form, and get our pour on.

If we're -really- ambitious, we might also mark, drill, and cut the barrels, and perhaps get some paint onto them before the end of the weekend. It'll be fun!

Remind me that we need to get some heavy duty cutting wheels for my dremel tool, which is what I'll use to square the corners (Sawzalls aren't for very fine work).

Didn't think of it until today, while cutting in a door strike.

Roush Hardware over on sawmill has dremel stuff. Roush hardware also says they have firebrick in stock.

After we get the concrete down, why don't we take a trip.

I wish I had responded earlier. I could have given you some pointers, likely, considering that I have witnessed a couple thousand yards worth of concrete being poured since I started my job.

The upside is that flaggerx is quite a concrete man himself.

To be honest, I was kept busy regulating the water for both the concrete and the humans, carrying the concrete bags, hauling away the sod, and going to home depot for more supplies, and safely kept away from screwing up the concrete. :D
