2009-08-02 Chauxing and chimney



This is the new chimney stack going through the guest bedroom...
Which now rests on a metal bracket instead of thin air !
The concrete pad at the base is due to fire regs, no wood within a certain distace of the chimney.

This is how the concrete base was put in.
And this is Jane playing with mud !
The chaux has to be thrown at the wall, and if done correctly, not all of it comes back in your face...... its lime plaster, which is nasty stuff, the top coat is a whiter version, put on in more liquid form and used to be called distemper in the UK.
