Pottery studio in a box

A really big box,that is, like thirty yards. Our friend Greg came out with his front end loader and
scraped most of the debris off the pad and deck, then loaded that and all the other detritus iinto this dumpster. I'm at around $1775 for debris removal at this point.






This is a shot of what used to be the workshop/woodshed - the little tarped piled are the remains of kilns, mostly. Over on the right is the (formerly) computerized electric, behind it is the raku/test kiln, which will probably be fine, and to the left is what's left of the gas kiln- the tarp behind it is the chimney.




Here's what's left of the glaze kitchen shed, and the deck (actually, there's even less of that left now, as I removed all the charred decking this weekend). Art, my bud who built the original shed, says he can save the joists, maybe just sister a few, and put new decking on top.


The back part of the floor of the glaze shed collapsed because it rested on a big lintel piece that
was attached to the wood shed, which vaporized.

Here's a nice shot from the deck of the cabin, which, thanks to the efforts of the firefighters who
put the fire out, didn't burn.


So this weekend, a big pile of trusses, poles, and tin was delivered, and Art's going to start Monday putting up a new shed - be nice to get a roof over the woodkiln before the real snow
comes. About three grand in materials for that. Then it will be time to take a minute, or a few months, and think about how to put the workshop back together.
