We needed, and got, one good week-end of warmish weather to cast the arch. We moved more than 6 tons of material by hand over 2 days time. A lot of hard labor, but done with great spirit!

Wow! That looks great, especially with the red. Was that just an aesthetic choice or does it serve some purpose? And when is the first firing?
