Cutting the bricks not afraid me, the electricity is really scary to me.
My friends also have built an electric kiln but not as excellent as yours.
Theirs is rectangular, frontloader and as an isolation they used.... I don't
know how it is named in English, a glass fiber, a rock wool?
Anyway I am seriously scared of the whole electricity staff, program
selector etc. but maybe I should persuade my husband to get down to this :).
Firstly I must read carefully your manual and translate it for my man:).
With a pile of dictionaries I think ;).
Don't be sorry, I'm not a football fan at all. I have really low opinion
about Polish players and even the worse about their coach. I only feel bad
for this thousands of Polish fans which went to German, they must be really
disappointed.
take care
