Ground Up Rebuild in Norton (Day 4)

Posted by Alexandra Storrs on Tuesday, May 15, 2012, In : Chimney Rebuilds 
The Corbel of the chimney is complete.  The Corbel is optional in the design of a chimney, it is when the brick are "stepped out" & then "stepped in".  All that remains is the Crown & the rain cap, which will be completed on day four of this project.  Day five will be spent on clean up (the roof is spotless when we leave) & the dismantling of the staging.  Check back to see the grand finale!  Again for earlier photos... http://www.dmstorrschimney.com/our-soot-stories/ground-up-rebuild-in-nort...
