One thing we knew was going to have to happen with this renovation was that the chimney needed to be higher. The roof went up, and there's some sort of 10-3 rule in building code about the chimney having to be 3 feet higher than any other structure within 10 feet of it.
So, up it went (well, first, it came down). Not quite as straightforward as that, though - masons are not that easy to come by, and certainly not cheap. Bob was getting some quotes in - but the price and time frame left much to be desired. Then he found Kevin (yay, Bob!), who did an amazing job. Bricklaying is painstaking, laborious work, and I don't think I ever really appreciated it before. I certainly do now - there's a lot of chimney to see now, so we're glad it came out so well.
