Well, yet again I got to do something really cool that I'd never done before... STUCCO! We made our own recipe that included lots of sand, portland cement, and hydrated lime. The results are FANTASTIC! We have an extremely hard stucco, done over multiple layers to a uniform thickness of nearly 2". It's truly beautiful! I finally took the camera home, so I also posted the insulation process and the metal mesh that had to go on top of the insulation onto which we stuck the stucco. Thanks again to Bonnie Omang for enduring the torturous task of helping us with the insulation!

This is all really impressive. I had no idea stucco had lime in it. It looks exhausting. The oven does look very igloo'esque now. Sorta like a little hobbit house too. I love it.

What a crazy thing you're doing. I can't wait to see the end result, and I'm very excited for the pizza.
