Work this week was simple. Climb up scaffolding. Chisel brick mortar. Place brick in bucket. Repeat until bucket is full. Repeat until 4 buckets are full. Climb down scaffolding. Lift buckets down and carry outside. Stack bricks outside. Rest. Repeat. Only 18 trips this way, and halfway done!
I all went smooth until I dropped the chisel down the flue. Then it was down to the basement to bust my way in and find it.
Turns out, it’s a good thing we decided to remove the chimney…the bricks at the floor level have disintegrated to powder – it was just a matter of time before it all came sliding down. Had I known that earlier, I might have saved myself some work today…..
End of weekend, drove around aimlessly, found another lost school. Cool sign.
