What standard 5-1 4-1. Did you prick it twice?
I've already had homemade burgers from the client on the BBQ and only popped in to look at the job. I heard homemade pitta and kebabs when we start!
Has any one else done a pizza oven?
 
Started with 2 coats bucket gauged at 5-1 with febmix then top coat 4-1 all had a handful of grit thrown in for a little bit of body.
that white fire board at bottom is great to fix your mesh onto and start wrapping then just use snips to cut shapes and tie together with wire

Was thinking the same, the bricky has put a brick top on already so the fire board has been covered already. Was thinking some turbos into the pug at the bottom to tie and thread the mesh onto.
It's Defo a dream job this one and then about 250m of hack off horse hair lime render and oak beams what's failed on new builder and new warranted system and oak.
