The bag wall was sagging at the end of the last firing, so Chris bashed it out and I rebuilt it this morning. It is very similar to what was there, although the openings in the wall are smaller. It was a good full load with Laura S.B, Laura H, Chris, & I loading. Everything fit - even two extra pots : )

It will be a bit of a late start, as I teach until 9:30pm. Watch as the firing progresses to come spray soda in with us on Wednesday evening around dinner time.
