Hi Teresa,

Big time move! Congratulations on the big step. Pictures please - I love
kiln building projects.

I bought my bricks through Great Lakes Clay because they are "just" 150
miles from my front door in central Illinois. Why not check out one of your
regional suppliers in Ohio. I know there are a couple good ones there. If
all else fails Great Lakes Clay can have them drop shipped to your door fro=
m
their jobber.

Hello Teresa,

I live in Central Ohio and find most of what I need, including information,
engineering and repair support, from Columbus Clay.

Where do you live in Ohio?

Here's their contact info: http://www.columbusclay.com/Contact_Us.htm

They are very helpful and if not the end source, can at least give you some
ideas.

Good luck,
Lynn
