The kiln is on.
After major headaches with the power supply an electricista came round yesterday and just took out my 50 amp fuse and gave me a maxi-meter so that I can draw down more power. There has been so much palaver, back and forth to the electric board with discussions, shaking heads and sucking air in through teeth, I am stunned at the solution. It seems it was all so simple, I have a hole now where said fuse was, which is slightly alarming as there is (currently ha-ha) 15 kW cursing through it at the moment.
The kiln is full of cups, mugs and saucers for the house which I made last year and several Christmas presents which will arrive very late now. This is how long I have been out of action. Pictures tomorrow if they are any good and if I survive the day!
It’s a 9 hour firing to 1107 oC, sweltering (lovely word).
