There were a few issues with the chimney, the fireplace took up a lot of real estate in the living room and bedrooms, and we aren't huge wood fireplace fans - so out it goes. We were very lucky in that one of Peter's crew was available and he took on the project. Not only is he stronger and more agile than we are, he's been a roofer, so he was able to patch the resulting hole in the roof. Luckily it just happened to be the one day in the last week it wasn't raining!!! He started at the roof and just kept pounding on those concrete blocks until there were all down. He did a great job! It looks soooo different!

A smart way to get those blocks down to the dumpster!

| And the inside destruction begins! |

The concrete blocks used for the chimney in the upstairs
bedroom. The pile downstairs was huge! |

Hey Bill, there's a hole in the wall! We thought this might be a good
place for a "Romeo" balcony! Then again, our guests would
probably like their privacy! |

| This is the biggest metal firebox I have ever seen! |
