  3. Fixing a leaking brick chimney

    That’s basically what the chimney sweep was gonna do. I priced some silicone based breathable brick treatment. Fairly inexpensive but I could never find a warrantied product over 5-10 years. I just figured I’d side it and be done with it for a couple of hundred dollars more
  4. Fixing a leaking brick chimney

    This flashing is done properly. Folded into the score line. There is efflorescence salt deposits on the indoor side of the chimney. That tells me water has been sleeping through the brick and mortar for years carrying the calcium salts with it. It’s a 40 year old chimney and from all the...

    Got the furring strips up today and the hardie trim boards. Just need to put up the hardie siding. I had a local metal roof company build a 2 piece custom chase cover that will go over the crown and cover the edges of the siding. Should be g2g
  8. Fixing a leaking brick chimney

    been in this house 2 years now. Has a beautiful and very large brick chimney dropping right down in the great room. 8’x4’ with a 4’x3’ fireplace opening. Only problem... it leaks like crazy.

    Thanks all! This has been about the most enjoyment I’ve gotten out of remodeling my house for the past 2 years. All the other stuff has been drywall, paint, floors, scraping ceilings... With the hinged lid, I’m gonna do 4 feet of beadboard on the wall behind it with a mantle with coat hooks on...

    Updates. The long one with the cubbies is 9 feet long. Oak plywood only comes in 8 foot sheets. Had to get creative with trimming it in. Whatcha think? Going to paint them all white. The oak bench tops will be stained and polyd of course.

    Early stages of building a foyer storage bench. Just built the box today. Got a 9 footer to build in the mud room as well. Knew I needed a nice bench to build these on so I started by building this 8x3 assembly bench. Did double layers of advantech for the top. Gonna wrap it in red oak and put a...
