Revere St., Boston (smoke pipe work)

Posted by Alexandra Storrs on Monday, November 22, 2010, In : Revere Street Liner

Here we are it is day one of the rebuilding process.  The chimney nor the flashing is complete.  Dana still has to add the corbel and the crown to the top of the chimney.  He also needs to finish the flashing.  Notice how the flashing is stepped and inserted into the mortar joints of the chimney.  To see how the chimney looked before he got started http://www.dmstorrschimney.com/our-soot-stories/a-week-in-winthrop-chimney-before-
