Day 2: Removing Brick From Old Chimney

Posted on | July 22, 2010 | 2 Comments

The old chimney is gone! Well the top part at least. The old bricks came down pretty quick. Our mason started at 8 am by 10 it was completely gone. It was quite amusing to be making coffee in the kitchen with bricks falling like rain outside the window. Our second floor den and fireplace are filled with dust and small bricks. By noontime the bricks were loaded onto his truck and taken away.

While all this was going on Greg was out sailing for the day. After spending the last two years doing all the renovation work ourselves it was amazing to be able to pay someone else to do the work. So luxurious…

After lunch the mason came back with a truck full of dirt which he separated out into buckets. All the new bricks were brought up onto the roof. Tomorrow he starts the rebuild. Below photos and a short video of the demolition.
