From the top



The most fabulous feature of our roofline are the two chimneys visible from the street.






One will be removed and the remaining fixed above the roof line. Unsurprisingly the best one is confirmed as being pulled down as soon as we can get to it. The builder has advised that he won't be volunteering for the job as it's messy and difficult work.





They're in a fairly sad state of disrepair, and clearly need repointing. I'm not sure what that gawdy concrete stuff is about. Perhaps a failed attempt at rendering?




That's a picture of the chimney interior. Two of the current chimneys are doubles with entirely separate chimneys on each side of a divider.

I've got a brand new pair of Dunlop Volleys so I can climb up there with less fear. I'll be repointing that chimney at first opportunity.

So 2005!
