XII ― Coursework

This was not a first idea for bringing the diameter of the bell closer to afterburner size. Constraints include: dwindling supply of brick; non-concentric afterburner + bell; ever-shrinking net volume between bell and afterburner; fingers refuse to remain muddy continuously, forcing use of tools. Closer Maybe on an upper course. Bell is still too short for afterburner which itself is too short according to traditional measurements.

Day 0 Day 1 It's in the wrong location and the bottom side is up. It's also a wee bit heavy for crude, monkey liftage. Let's play... Ladder & trailer occupy the same space. But two objects can not occupy the same space. Probably have to solve this equation tomorrow. Day 2 Day 3 Equal(ish) parts varnish, linseed oil, mineral spirits. Of course I'm gonna tart this trunk up a bit!

I've lost track of time and mudfires so this is known as Ten. ⟷ There have been other mudfires since previous entries herein, but those are un-documented and mostly forgotten now. This is my first stab at making and using aircrete. So far, so good. The mix contains perlite, sand and Portland; a dab of lime plus the requisite foam, made with Suave™ shampoo and a re-purposed hand soap pump dispenser.
