Kiln woes and Evergreen Artisan Show

I have been toiling away roughly 10 hours a day getting pieces ready for Evergreen, as usual focusing more on making than finishing! I climbed a steep learning curve in formulating glazes, then airbrushing and spraying on lovely finishes but when I got to the final stage of actually firing the pieces where I had a little confidence...neither kiln worked! DH Ray phoned Olympic kilns where he talked to a very knowledgeable person who told him what was wrong and offered to ship the new part right away. Two weeks later it hasn't arrived and we've moved on to getting the electric kiln ready for use. Ray built a 3 sided box to provide some shelter from the elements, ran the cable into the house and sealed the basement window, and we plugged the kiln into the dryer receptacle only to find that it wouldn't work, at all! My poor wares went through many bisque, re-bisque, etc firings after which we've discovered that our wiring is in terrible shape, breaker box was a huge fire hazard and we needed to hire electricians to come in and repair all. We purchased the house last summer and this was all good to know so we are getting the needed repairs done right now and I have 2 days to do about three firings. Of course that doesn't include all of my high fire stoneware and porcelain which is waiting for the gas kiln but I am further ahead than I was a few days ago! I will be posting photos very soon.
