  • dum ta da DUM (trumpet please)


    The chimney.  You have to understand this project should have been done 5 years ago.  But for some reason we were convinced it would be hard.  It wasn't.  And it was a cheap project.  $20 for mortar $10 for paint.  hehehe


    Here's the before picture.  EWWWWWWWWW


                        


    And this is Rob installing the clean-out door.  We had to have a new one built thanks to the fire we had a while back......


                       


    And here we are all mortared and in process of drying.


                   


    And drum roll please............ the FINISHED product   Rob did a bit of touch up paint after this picture was taken...but hey you get the gist.  INstead of walking into my house and seeing the UGLY chimney you just see the white wall.  Oh that is soooooooo nice

  • Looks great!!!!!!!!

  • WOW!! What a HUGE difference!  Great job.  I'm sure you're relieved to have that all finished. 

  • Good job.  We have projects that last 2 years when they should only last 2 days.  We seem to procrastinate a lot too.  Does that thing heat your whole house????????

  • that is a big improvement--how do you keep the kids away from it?  oh, I think you said before you have a fence?

    anyway, good thing Rob's outdoor persuits got cancelled, eh?  Look what he got done!
