Ta Ra! The almost completed brick arch and soon these will be glowing white hot, once the fire has been laid.

The work is done and Spikkels poses for the camera. These firebricks are very heavy and tremendous effort is needed to get them into the firebox and then up on the arch tubes, to build the brick arch. Now, fire is needed!
