Do it yourself

Here is a pic of the giant nest.....thats still in the wall! LOL...Mike spent yesterday afternoon breaking out the chimney so I didnt have the heart to ask him to do the nest too....LOL....he tried taking the chimney out a few bricks at a time, he stood on the rafters in the attic and used a sledge hammer but a big chunk fell and broke a floorboard (we had cleared the room downstairs of kids and pets just in case! )...so we have to add that to our fixit list. Amazingly, behind the chimney was........another chimney! LOL...No I am NOT kidding! Apparently, the original chimney was built into the actual outside wall of the house, I attached a pic showing the bricks mortered in with the stone and the hole leading into the wall chimney....I had never heard of this before....have any of you??....and then in later years one was added inside the wall (the one we just tore out)......this was piped into a stove in our daughters room which is next door. This is quite the adventure..... Brenda Braun
