It's finally warm enough to fire up the kiln....so why am I still not happy?
I opened the kilns (both of them) only to discover that my shelves need to be cleaned and primed with kiln wash. My hose bibs are shut off so, I need to carry water to the back deck and then start scraping......a very cold endeavor at 39º!...Then the shelves need to dry.
So today is maintenance day rather than a firing day. I will spend time cleaning and priming shelves and cut some future projects.
Firing will have to wait until I return home from a family trip.
More lessons in patience! Clearly, it's a journey!
Oh, here's a photo of a chunk of ice from one of my drain buckets!
It's about 5 gallons of frozen sludge water!
