First installment, chimbly.

You really need to enlarge these photos to appreciate them.....



We did the chimney!! Here are the ground assistants, without which we could not have gotten the job done.


The first flight of rungs was at the Northeast corner of the house, just beside the deck. When you reach the top, you can see the second set of rungs. These lay on the main section of the roof.



Once you get up that flight, you see the third flight of rungs. You'll notice the ropes tied to the ladders. On the second flight, the rope goes straight up the roof, over the ridge and straight back down, to get tied to the trailer hitch on the van.



The rope that is attached to the third flight of rungs goes over the ridge diagonally and down to the southeast corner of the roof, and tied to the Toyota....



Oh, yeah, there's the van down in the fron yard......



Here is a view of the way down from the roof. It was used many times on Wednesday by Ivan and I. We played hooky from work, put up a new chimney from just inside the roof and up.



I got going on the project before Ivan got there and this is what it looked like at that point. I'll finish this tomorrow.... have happy day.....
