stainless chimney

Ah, the joys of home ownership! The bricks in our chimney are cracked on the inside of the shaft. All the way down. Apparently, one of the previous owners of the house had some pretty rip-roaring fires in the wood stove!

 

The cracks cause the chimney to fail to meet building code. So, today a specialist lined it, from stove to top, with stainless steel. It was expensive!

 

But now, two of our three summer projects are completed. Yesterday, we installed a new back door. No more wind blowing in this winter!
