kiln deconstruction

yesterday we removed the arch and some of the brick in the sidewalls... this is what the kiln looked like when we started work at noon today....

by 6:00pm it was looking like this... the biggest achievement is the chimney is down!  we are packing all the brick into banana boxes to transport them to seagrove in the bus.  i think this is by far the most exhausting job involved in the move.

we are fortunate to be staying with our friend roni so we are still on bow lake.  jeff and i finished the day with a quick moonlight dip in the cool water... it felt great on my tired aching body.
