I so enjoy the two of you. Thank you for blessing me as I watch you both renovate your farmhouse. Love, love, love your 2 fat cats! I am a cat person and have 2 little boys of my own. Their names are Ashe and Smudgie and they make me laugh at the predicaments they get into. Looking forward to the next video. Great job on the chimney!!

Very nice, job well done. Between repointing and getting a liner it will be safe, and your rebuilding makes it an attractive feature in the room.

You can get brick pliers that can hold on to 3-5 bricks at a time and has a handle for easy carrying. They are also called brick tongs or brick clamps. And also: I love your channel, found it with your 2 year time lapse on your silent channel and have since watched every video on this channel from the beginning. I love your thouroughness and positive attitude ❤

Simply astounding in the best way. I’m always amazed at how you simply “just do it.” And it turns out well, to no surprise. I imagine that you must do a fair amount of research and watching videos before you begin one of these projects. Over and over again, congratulations on so many jobs so well done.

The new chimney looks so much better than what was there before. It was really nice that one of your subscribers sent you the new trowels. Did they make the job easier? Now you get the job of stuffing the liner down that chimney. Hope it is easier than it sounds, especially considering the smallness of the chimney.🤔🤞👍

Did 'inspector cat' approve all the bricks you had laid out? The chimney looks like it belongs with the rest of the walls, but better. I can only imagine how physically fit your are. 😃

@brittawrolson5936 2 ай бұрын

Great video. So nice to see the great brickwork done to maintain the chimney as a historic feature of this house. It will be interesting to see how you put a liner in since there are angles on the very tall structure. I have not seen that before. Sending good vibes 👏🏻💞

Dear Marina, I've noticed you a little sad or just too tired, I don't know exactly, anyway I pray now to The Lord for you to be filled with joy, hope, faith in His powerful love that can operate miracles and solve any problems. Thank you Father for this family, fill them with your unconditional love and heal any situation among their loved ones, I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

It's a pleasure to look at, happy that you keep the chimney as a feature in the otherwise plastered wall, and on top of that some additional heating when the stove is on.

@TgWags69 2 ай бұрын

I thought you would have taken the opportunity to bring the front face of the chimney out to match the new insulation and wall surface. Not only would the brick look nice, it would allow you to take advantage of the thermal mass to help keep the room warm, as well as, to allow more room to install a larger liner. Liners will always reduce the available volume of a chimney, so a larger one would probably be advantageous

Whewww… You will be a master at masonry when you get this house fully restored! : ) Curious… was that just water you sprayed on the bricks to keep them from pulling too much mortar out of the cement? Or was this a special application to help preserve the life of the bricks and mortar? Will there be no flue liner in this chimney? Considering the age of these bricks, etc., and for safety issues, wondering about that. Hmmmm….

Ilya, awesome job, man. Impressive! I must apologize if it has already been explained, but why the chimney must be canted? Well, other than that was the original design of it. 🤔
