Mixing Clay Again

It's been a busy month with wood splitting and stacking, lots of company, and now clay mixing.  We did all the mixing on Sunday and then one more for good measure this morning before we scooped it into the drying racks.  Less than half an hour later the water was already dripping off.  In about two weeks the top layers will be ready to store.  The bottom ones will take another week.  Then I'll have about 1500 lbs of clay ready to use.  Not bad for 4 1/2 hours work!


This is a lot harder than it looks!  

Filled and covered drying racks.
