Chimney Pointing
One of my chimneys is in a sad state of repair. Motar and pieces of brick
are missing in spots. Would it be that difficult for me to repair my own chimney or should I call a professional to repoint it? Its a bit late in the year for it now, the weather is getting colder. This is a project I'm planning for next spring. Handi |

at least get it professionally inspected if its a working chimney for
fireplace or flue vents. if outside appearance is poor the interior may have troubles I nearly died from carbon monoxide poisioning from a bad chimney cap! |

Apparently some are not suitable for such exterior use- water penetrates and freezes, splitting the bricks. I've seen a large memorial in E. Norwalk CT literally pulverized that way. J |
