This next series of blog posts will be about a ground up rebuild completed in 5 days!  These pictures and posts will show the progression of the project beginning with the tearing down of the chimney to the complete reconstruction, with some fun shots in between.  The picture in this post shows the staging and the beginning of the tear down process.  If you look closely you can see the deterioration of the brick.  The deterioration was extensive throughout the height of the chimney, therefore it needed to be completely torn down & rebuilt.  For another example of a chimney rebuild http://www.dmstorrschimney.com/our-soot-stories/charlestown-rebuild-complete this one was a roof line up rebuild.
