More Kiln Shed Progress

Last Sunday the progress on the kiln shed came to a screeching halt. Why??? Because it was done!!! Mid-week the concrete floor was poured (thanks again to Michael Rude and crew). Kevin (the roadie) spent Saturday and Sunday putting the salvaged steel on the gabled ends and putting on the finishing touches. Then it was done. Well, except for the little wren who promptly started a nest in the corner.

Look at that gorgeous concrete. We think it's the prettiest little concrete slab south of Zumbrota MN

Ode to my Roadie

Ok, I'm not really sure what constitutes an Ode, nor am I really aware of how one is written. But what I am sure of is, I could never do the sales away from home without my hardworking roadie. Pottery is really heavy to cart around and a hardworking roadie is a must if you want to attend many sales away from your home base. Today we were in the Art in East Park event in Zumbrota. It was a gorgeous day and after working hard setting up my booth, my hardworking roadie was rewarded with a much deserved nap in the shade before he went to work again tearing down and packing it all home again. He also enjoyed some ice cream which I'm sure made it all worthwhile for him. I am forever grateful for this hardworking roadie. Thanks, Kevin.
