This has ...Thanks for the encouraging words, Stacy. This has definitely been a long, drawn-out process. And yes, I agree that we may have saved our roof by repairing that non-functional side chimney. So even though the expense feels pointless now, we may have avoided a more costly repair!Papered Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06171756005071389546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5026676283508424152.post-91141286180551290032015-10-08T17:29:39.414-04:002015-10-08T17:29:39.414-04:00Jamie, I had no idea chimneys were this involved! ...Jamie, I had no idea chimneys were this involved! I can totally understand why this has been such a frustrating process. I'm glad that you'll have a bit of extra money to spend on other things you need, maybe get some champagne to toast making it through this reno :) Hang in there, it's going to be amazing.

I know you did not want to spend the money on the rebuild, but I think it was a good idea. Bad chimneys can cause roof leaks as the water seeps through them. You may not be able to use your fireplace, but you may have saved your roof. :) <br /><br />Both or our chimney's need work too. Once needs rebuilding for sure, and the other may need minor repairs. I wish we could use our fireplaces too. Stacy G.http://www.blakehillhouse.comnoreply@blogger.com
