Renovate cottage

The first thing to do at the cottage this summer is to take down the chimney. The chimney has seen their best days and must be repeated from scratch. In order to take down the chimney I shall begin by removing the tiles around the chimney down to roof end.

The reason I do it is to that end of the chimney is a cast iron barrel. The thin, I have to take off the chimney before I can start taking down the chimney.

When I removed sjoket of bricks, I will lead a rope through the barrel and then connect the rope to a loop so that the barrel can slowly rolled down from the ceiling.

When the rope is attached to the barrel it should either be fixed in a tree some distance away, or down in the porch.

After that, the barrel tipped over on the side and slowly rolled down the roof.

Thereafter, the chimney can be started coming down.

The idea is that the chimney bricks to be reused, which is facilitated by the chimney has been built of lime mortar. Lime mortar is easy to remove from the tile when there is a hard material.
