You might not be a professional mason, but it looks like you definitely know what you’re doing. I am sure this video will be helpful to anybody building a flue. You explain things very well. I’m here for the dad jokes, you always crack me up!

[@metcalfmills5679]

Ha ha! Thanks Lea! Glad you enjoyed

[@angelacross2216]

Just the sound of the trowel scraping against the blocks brings back memories of hanging out with my father while he worked on projects around the house. Like you, there was nothing he wouldn’t take on…….and do well.

Thanks for sharing Angela

I didn’t think about checking the existing chimney for plumb. That’s a great pointer to know. Also appreciate the slope and clean-out tips. The flue liner bit and plastic makes sense too. Masonry work has always baffled and befuddled me. Good skills to have. Thanks much

[@metcalfmills5679]

Hope it helps. Thank you

[@lloydfortner1663]

It's looking good. You think ahead about things, and that's a good thing. Enjoying your videos

[@metcalfmills5679]

Thanks Lloyd. I appreciate you

[@lindaarmstrong4661]

God gave you the gift of teaching. You're a natural and I suspect you've been a sponge all your life soaking up skills, education, and wisdom. I love watching your videos and hearing you explain, humbly, but very clearly, whatever the subject matter. Have a blessed day and "Hi" to Char and Virginia. 💕

[@metcalfmills5679]

Aw thank you and Linda! I appreciate you. I hope you are doing alright.. I will tell them as soon as they wake up! This made my day, thank you.

[@EarlybirdFarmSC]

This has been very interesting to watch and learn. That is something I have no clue or knowledge about. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to Pt 3.

When my parents had the home in which I was raised built, Dad came by every night when he got off work to inspect what had been done. Dad had grown up in the construction trades and was a journeyman electrician, so he knew what he was doing. If he didn’t like what had been done, he ripped it out and they had to eat the cost of doing it over. The damfool who was supposed to build the fireplace didn’t bother to use a plumb and level. Yep, Dad ripped it apart and had him read the riot act. GUARANTEE YOU, that house was built SOLID, and Dad wired it himself - to commercial standards.

It’s sad that taking pride in workmanship is more rare these days. Thanks for sharing Vicki!

[@sunnyducker3170]

You really seem to strive for excellence in everything your hands find to do. That's very admirable!

[@metcalfmills5679]

Thanks Sunny🙂

[@metcalfmills5679]

Thank you TPaw. We are good. God bless you too

[@auntym4729]

Great job, I know professional chimney ppl and they would love your knowledge and experience

[@metcalfmills5679]

Oh thanks Auntym

[@belindagray3005]

You explain things so that anyone can understand and watching you can't help but become mesmerized. Wish I could lay cement on block like that. LOL Have a wonderful day ! :)

[@metcalfmills5679]

Oh thank you Belinda! Hope you did too

[@kevincollinsnc]

I’m definitely content with the content! Looking forward to the rest of this series.

[@metcalfmills5679]

Glad to hear it! This footage is from a couple weeks ago, part 3 will be out this weekend. Thank you Kevin!

Thanks Mel!

Good info love your videos from steve c from state Oregon

[@metcalfmills5679]

Thank you so much

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Right on brother! I wonder if people are steering away from this video because they think you’re talking about the contagion “flu“.

[@metcalfmills5679]

Ha ha! I hadn’t thought about it.

[@bhamby9305]

Keep dragging. This is good stuff

[@metcalfmills5679]

Ha ha! Thank you!

[@williamqueen8790]

You sure do good at teaching. You must be stronger than a garlic milkshake, you lift those blocks like nothing.

[@metcalfmills5679]

Ha ha! Glad you enjoyed!

[@mickmallon9375]

I thought type S cement was pre-mixed cement. Isn't it Portland cement and sand you are using?

[@metcalfmills5679]

Portland cement is the main ingredient in Type S mortar mix. Type S is a load bearing mortar mix. Thank you!

[@sandrahouse9322]

Looks like a professional job to me. I've seen bricklayers whose joints don't look that good. Will the new chimney help support the old one?

[@metcalfmills5679]

Oh thank you Sandra. Yes by chance, and they will both be stronger by it

[@kennethmichael5607]

Still can’t find these blocks herein northeast ms lowes and Home Depot never heard of them

[@metcalfmills5679]

That is strange. A masonry supply is what you need

[@rebeccaburt7699]

What size blocks are you using

[@metcalfmills5679]

16x16

[@kennethmichael5607]

Jestro where can I find these flu blocks what do I ask for

[@metcalfmills5679]

16x16 Flu Block. Masonry or builders supply

[@124bucket]

[@metcalfmills5679]

I got very sick and was not able to get it done. It’s coming though..
