How can I get the kiln working?

  • 1 of 12: Due to its disrepair, the kiln won't get hot enough to do the job until it is fixed.
  • 2 of 12: You're going to have to repair the kiln that holds the fire that fires the pottery that holds the water that goes to the monkey that lives in the house that Jack built.  (No wait -- forget that last part!)
  • 3 of 12: There appear to be two separate problems with the kiln.
  • 4 of 12: To get a fire hot enough to fire the pottery, all of the heat will need to be contained within the kiln.
  • 5 of 12: And right now, the missing bricks are letting too much of the heat out.
  • 6 of 12: So you'll need to repair the bricks of the kiln.  (If you've already repaired the steps up to the windmill, you can repair the kiln in the same manner.)
  • 7 of 12: With the brickwork repaired, the second problem is with the bellows.  There's a hole that prevents it from operating effectively
  • 8 of 12: Now all we need is a good, hot fire.
  • 9 of 12: Once the kiln is repaired, and the fire is going, operate the bellows to heat up the fire even hotter.
  • 10 of 12: Put the unfired pottery into the kiln to get a nice matching set of dinnerware.
  • 11 of 12: You can use one (or more) of the pots to hold water.
  • 12 of 12: Go down to the lake where you washed the cloth for Jep's head, and fill one or more pots with water.
