Both of the chimneys are going to need to be rebuilt before the sandblasters turn up at the weekend. The weather forecast for the next couple of days isn’t great, so the pressure is on to try and get everything done. The scaffolding turned up this afternoon for the chimney and the work on rebuilding it started within the hour.
The first few courses (under the roof slates) are built up in brick and then stone (from the old porch) is used to rebuild the chimney.
