Hi Jim:
I just wanted to send along a picture of the finished Rumford Kiva. It is just awaiting some adobe pavers for a patio, hopefully we can get it done this week. We are to have a few days under 110 degrees. You don't know what you're missing.
Best,
Rick

Here's a progress shot from yesterday. Boy doing stucco is not a treat. I'll get you some good pix later. I also chronicled almost every step. I could send you some samples of that, so you could see if any would be helpful.
Best,
Rick

Rick,
Sounds interesting. I'd love to see the pictures. For the Internet a picture about 600 pixels wide saved at 75 dpi with a total size of about 100k works well. If it's bigger I can crop and reduce it.
Best,
Jim
