Earlier in the week due to Hurricane Pamela, we received a lot of rain. Normally not an issue, but this week, it sounded like something was leaking during one of the rainstorms. Naturally, yes, something was, the chimney! Ok, now normally I would not be happy (still wasn’t) but this was something we knew we would be “fixing”. We knew the current fireplace definitely has not been taken care of and honestly in the month of October, would not be shocked if something scary came out of it. However, fixing a leaking chimney was not on the top of the priority list, suddenly this became priority #1. When Chad got to the top of the chimney to scope out the damage, come to find out that there was only chicken wire as a “cap” to the chimney. Well no wonder we had rain coming in. We were planning to change the wood-burning fireplace to electric. The fix is getting a new cap, flexed tapped the thing (like no other), installed and then repaired the cracked concrete on top of the chimney. Fingers crossed, no more rain coming down the chimney.
We had a lot of other things planned for the weekend, but only had Sunday to work as Saturday we were just getting started, Chad got called out for a service call to Corpus Christi – Ciera and I joined him for the ride, but as you can see – there was no way I would be getting on the roof to fix this problem. 🙂
