Excellent job I’m glad you was able to restore it. Back to better than new, I’d love to see them use that oven again, thank you for your great videos

Stay safe!

I use the same roof brackets

Pittsburgh or london

Watching from columbus good stuff

You did a good program. The country is built on random houses and dead reckoning. Western platform construction changed all that. But who doesn't want to live in an old house with wood heat?

Sure, it's extremely high, but it would have worked just fine if everything "up top" that we can't see is what a Rumford should be. The chimney through the house, not on an outside wall, would have heated up quickly for maximum draft and the "flat back" Rumford design would have pulled it right up with no smoke in the room. The standard U.S. fireplace with "angle in back toward the room" to create a giant smoke shelf, is a horrible design, no matter what "code" says. U.S. chimneys are far too wide and allow cold air to come down, thus the smoke shelf tries to "fix" this poor design. A small, insulated, warm chimney doesn't ever need a smoke shelf because no air can come down. Wide chimneys don't move air quickly like skinny ones. But, we must do what the idiotic "code" of our towns and cities, requires.

Wait a second what the heck kind of Monkey is going on here. Liners terra-cotta metal anything you gotta line the chimney what about rebar reinforcing anything oh well…

You remind me so much of my mentor 30 years ago. He was such a great thinker, seemed like there was nothing he couldn't figure out with a little time and assessment. The two of you definitely have that in common. Such a breath of fresh air watching a fellow mason who has mastered his craft. Awesome work Chad!!! Thanks for all the content. Wish you had more

Great to see your professional progress on this project, Chad. Amazing work! 👍👍👍

Thanks for sharing, I learned a lot.

That’s crazy you put that granite in on your own

You swing a hammer like a bitch

Understood on the profitability thing, but this was an outstanding video series. Thanks for sharing the process. Restoring something old, in the proper way, has its own longterm rewards for the true craftsman. I think you nailed it on this one.

Masonry ninja in an out in a flash!! An ya got my cash!!

Chimney tech/ inspector here. I've shared your channel with all of my co workers and we've learned a lot from just a few of your vids. Wondering how using Type S ever became the norm for repairs since we used to a lot and still do from time to time.

If people building chimney boxes straight I'm the back why was i taught to roll the back?

Great info! So foam wrap on liner is for expansion? What type of foam?

Hi good video thank you I née some help . Are you using an air space behind fire brick ? And have you considered using a second lintel to keep any weight off the damper (maybe the insulation is enough in that regard )

Hey Chad, have you ever seen a masonry fireplace built on the second floor of a home? Could you build a solid masonry foundation from the ground level up to the second floor and start your firebox at that level? (providing local codes permits it)

Good work

By the looks of it, I think you’re the crackhead sir.

Cutting into the mortar joint weakens the chimney. Cut into the brick.

The audacity 😂😂

My God, this was great!! Ive got several people that ive called trying to get quotes on a liner and one guy really sold me, until the hairs on my neck said, NO! STOP, INVESTIGATE!! Thank you sir for this video. I really appreciate you taking the time to show rhe difference in the liners. It is highly appreciated

Boy if you can’t walk that then you don’t belong on a roof little boy

That was a kick ass job you’ve done putting the information that we need and want in a no nonsense video = very “well done Sir”

God i hate people like you

Get this to the Secret Service immediately!

It’s not the drugs as much as the drinking. .

I built one myself and I prefer it to the actual thing

Which bit did you use on the multi-tool?

I need some help when I search for a liner to buy i notice nothing is being advertised as heavy wall or thin wall how do I know what’s what when purchasing I don’t want junk

Really like your commentary. Whats your opinion on how those Brits do the lead soakers then the cut in flashing on top. They seem to have a lot of slate and tile roofs.

Keep that lime mortar coming!

1 slip and your going to have summer teeth.

Sandy looks like recycled cardboard.

Just seems a bit of a design flaw….a chimney flew that cracks due to heat… maybe I’m stupid but for example if my car tires split when the wheel turns I’d redesign it just saying 😂🤷‍♂️

Wow!!! I've been waiting for the final result, and it surely was impressive. Some day they'll be rebuilding the home around that chimney and saying "imagine if this mason built this entire home... we wouldn't be here today"

I really hope homeowners look carefully at your explanations of the condition of their chimneys, and realize what’s been wrong (what still needs to be done) and the amazing work you have done! 👍👍👍

24:27 - From chaos flues to perfection. Beautiful work!

my chimney is parged up with lime and they used horse hair in the mix back then, its beginning to flake off because of somebody painted over it with plastic paint not too long ago

Where the shingles go over the lead stepping, what keeps water from going under the shingle there?

Fascinating, thank you.

I am so glad to see the finished result. It came out very nice. Wouldn't mind seeing the rain cap once its on.

I always learn something from your vids. Was wondering if there was going to be an update for this chimney, definitely a unique and challenging chimney...A+ job on this one.

Hi Chad! Another great video! I'm a big fan and fellow mason of 30 years. I don't have much experience with the lime mortars,.. can you acid wash the product in the end? What is the board life of the old like mortars your utilizing? Do you think it will easily out last most of the conventional type N light mortars? Nonetheless thanks for all the content. Really enjoy watching a fellow mason doing his craft.

Super cool vid. Was looking forward to this one. Awesome work.

A job like this… $50k? More? Less? Nice job either way! This homeowner will probably cringe writing that check, but the workmanship will make it all worth it in the end!
