How did you give it that Machu picchu brick style look.. Is that with plastering and a paint job? Realy nice looking oven.. :thumbup:
 
Yeah I used two coats of course sand plaster with added glass fibres over 4" of ceramic insulation blanket & then shaped the individual stones with a fine sand mix.
I then painted the effect with 3 x coats of weather shield paint, then used a flexible grey grout in between the stones.

It looks great, like a piece of Gaudi-esque sculpture...and it's an oven as well;)

It's a area on the nature strip between two homes about 3-4 Sq mts this what it looked like when all the mini Dahila's were in flower. Spring 2017 I planted about 160 bulbs.
If everything works out I should not have to do anything other than replant the Dahlias later this year then every 2nd or 3rd year.

That plastic edging was recently replaced with a 30x10cm treated pine.
