I used to build new construction fireplaces and chimneys back in the 70s. Once a general contractor, I found a void concerning people that are knowledgeable about the components of a chimney and fireplace.
Now I'm Sole Proprietor of "Matson Chimney and Fireplace Restoration." I Love the business and will offer films as I go, project at a time. If you like me, subscribe, if you don't, who asked ya. I Hope you enjoy my vids and find them useful:)

Interests:
I trained as a powerlifter in the 80s. Bench, squat and deadlift. (1250# in 3 events) I was a tournament fighter with Young Brothers Tae-Kwon-Do in the 90s. I have trophies from open and closed tournaments. I liked sparring with other styles, as I saw them as nonoffensive. I wasn't concerned about sparring with anyone, except another Tae-Kwon-Doist.
Movies:
Saving Private Ryan. I saw the movie, then read the book, then rented the movie. The rock opera TOMMY. The 3 Stooges...BEFORE Curly Joe. Tolkeins movie trilogy is the greatest gift to cinema, ever.
Music:
Everything but rap, which isn't a legitimate genre in the first place.
Books:
I read everything Tolkein wrote before it was cool, including the Silmarillian.

They use every trick in the book to keep from honoring their "life time" warranty.

This helps show you how unsophisticated the process is. Don't be shy, you'll never get done.

I am going to build a brand new brick chimney from the very start. How thick of a concrete footer do I need to support this chimney that will be about 20 feet high. I'm in western Pa, so I think the frost line is 36 inches, but I need advice on the footer. thanks
