Post by: sandsawmill14 on June 01, 2015, 10:57:40 PM
after almost 3 months of trying i finally got started on solar kiln about 3:00 this afternoon :). it went pretty good i got the floor, front and side walls up. 4' at the front 12' at the back it looks really tall :o but should work out fine. floor is 8' x 12'. it was to dark to get any pics when i got last wall up but will try to get some tomorrow if i can get in before dark!!! :)

Been working on my kiln for 3 weeks and you almost are catching up with me. I've got top on and outside walls, starting on inside walls today. Good work, I guess your speed has something to do with being 20 years younger. :)

Sorry for your trouble on mill but I'm happy I'm a little in front of you. I hate that I started 3 weeks before you and you might finish first >:(
