Mostly the cinder blocks. I had a bunch left over and that was an easy way to get rid of them while adding strength to the foundation. I also did over kill with the insulation, but they say it's better to over insulate them then to under insulate them.

LOL. Agreed. That was a quick cement weather proofing. It had limited colors. Now that it is weatherproofed, I can add any color exterior paint. I still want to add a counter to the entrance but that will be a while before I get to it.

Sorry I just go to responding. I did not count when I was making it. I would have to look at the sheets I used as a guide. I did have a dozen or so left over. I'll look it up and get back to you.

LOL. The guide I went by said to make it about that high to build up a good draft. (He said, The chimney is too disproportionate to the oven, it looks like you've built a crematorium.)

Yes, I am. I did find that it's way too hot to use it in the summer. The oven can get over 1000 degrees. Spring and Fall are the best!

Yes, Jim's a trooper! Not sure about Lake Trout. We have not caught any before. I could try to find out. We may do a Walleye Day next year.

Thanks. We fish for Bass but do catch pike. We don't have steel leaders, but we did catch a really big one once. The 2023 trip mentions Centennial Lake. You do know the area.

Thanks. It was a lot of fun. The weather held out for the most part.

Thats a regular fake Christmas Tree. I had to create the LED ornaments on it, rig the electronics and program it. Sorry, one of a kind.

I just added a new tree program at kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6jJdHiCeNx5kLs
