It's good to see people willing to "do the work". So many times in my 50+ years of being in the chimney business we run across "patchwork fixes" or "cold patches" as it is called. Some will make the argument, "what happens to all the weight that those brick you removed were supporting?", and the answer is, "it gets shifted elsewhere never to be re-distributed onto the new brickwork." I've done it and never had a problem.
Good work!

Western Pennsylvania. We're a severe weather region, you guys get it pretty good too, I hear.
Watch movies. I only do chimneys, and if you seen one recrown, ya seen em all. Same with tucking. If I didn't say the price paid, email me.
