No "hacks" involved in this video. Great job, nice finish.

Moist burlap on the crown covered with plastic overnight allows a slow cure. They didn't do it on the original crown, that was obvious by the excessive cracking. Chamfer wouuld have been less conspicuous, but that's too "old school" I guess. TCW

I enjoyed the video even though I am working on a spalling brick problem from a federal style rowhouse from 1900. The spalling is not at the chimney, but I will keep this in mind next time I am on the roof. I had a mason do some tuck pointing for me which turned out great but I am guessing I must replace the spalled brick. I had some college kids in here that put a washer/dryer in the bsmt and did not vent it so the bsmt moisture I believe caused spalling. rgds.

This is, without a doubt, the best example of "How to waterproof a Chimney" that I have ever seen! I now know more about waterproofing a chimney than I ever have. I feel like I could talk about this subject with a bit a knowledge, where as before, I could not. Thank you for sharing your skill and craft with us.
Bill, can you tell me more about that scaffolding. Who makes it? What is it called? Thanks, Joe

@giodazip The scaffold is made by Vanguard. We got it from Lynn Ladder, who also makes the Chicken Ladder. The scaffold is supported from the ridge by a set of Ultimate Ridge Hooks. Several chimney sweep suppliers sell them. They allow using the scaffold attached to 2x8s instead of the roof!
