Still here...

So these chairs have been home fore the last 7 hours, I am dirty, smelly and sweaty. We have not hit the 900° so it is going to be a long day for the others.

There are 3000 pieces of pottery in this kiln, if it goes wrong that is a lot of time and money wasted. The kiln has not been fired for 5 months so it is damp, we knew it would be long to get the temperature up but hopped it would be that long....
