@Yvonne Apodaca I recently realized that we have a lot of members in different time-zones, we are going to put together several recordings that go into more details on the modules in the oven building course. If you want to get on a video chat sometime to talk about oven building, we could definitely figure out a time to connect.

Welcome to the group Chris! I think you are the first member from Maine but there's definitely some like-minded building happening up your way. Yestermorrow Building School in Vermont was one of the first places I can across 10 years ago when I start getting into natural building, I also recently saw a post from a group in Maine building an oven, I'll share come links.

Looks like these folks had an oven build last month in Lewiston. https://www.permatours.org/
Your Backyard Oven!
In this thread, share with the group a little about the backyard oven you’re starting to envision! 🔥 We’d love to hear what you’re imagining. ❤️ What style of oven are you dreaming of? There are so many different possibilities when it comes to oven design and style. Do you envision your oven space growing into something more? Maybe an outdoor kitchen, garden-to-table space, or a gathering area for friends, family, and community? If your not yet sure what you want to build, just share a photo or video of a backyard oven or outdoor kitchen you find inspirational.

@Michael Kelly that's a great idea! Can't wait to see photos 😁 maybe your oven could be sculpted into the shape of a frog ❤️ 🐸

@Calyx Kotiw originally we envisioned this as a local initiative that would tie into the Hearth and Hands Convergence but folks from all over are showing interest in participating, the oven build challenge is becoming it's own thing. Anyone can from a team and plan a build, we are here to support those builds with information, guidance, and recourses.

Hi everyone. Quick question about the oven build. Can we get started on the foundation now or is that all suppose to be done between the 6th-11th.

Great question! Yes, start building as soon as you’re ready! 😃 We’re here to support you with questions and information at any stage of your build, anytime. October 6th–11th is simply a suggested date that works with the rollout of our Earth Oven e-course. It also coincides with the Hearth & Hands Convergence happening here in South Carolina that week. 🔥
