This is a picture looking down into the chimney as it is being rebuilt. This is a six flue chimney, being rebuilt using wythe bricks to divide the individual flues. The pipes seen in the upper left flue are the vents for a high efficiency gas boiler. Two vents are necessary, one is to vent the combustion from the appliance and the other is for intake air.

Here we have Brad, Dave & Tim hard at work tearing down the front chimney. All of the brick debris was brought to the street by hand using buckets & a boom on the scaffolding. It was then placed into an on site dumpster (we provided) quietly so as not to disturb the neighborhood during the demolition process. http://www.dmstorrschimney.com/our-soot-stories/pinckney-st-beacon-hill-rebuilds-staging

Because access to the chimneys was challenging as was the staging of the building we outsourced the staging aspect of this project. Many thanks to the crew at Veterans Scaffolding! For a before picture click
