Chimney

Today our house is one step closer to being oh so toasty warm this winter.  After a marathon of work Saturday, Sunday and today, we have a chimney! 

We are so blessed to have great friends.  Throughout this entire four-year process our friends have shown up to help us out over and over again.  This weekend was no exception.  This time our friend Eric came all the way from Portland to lead the way in building the chimney. 
Eric and Jason worked their guts out building the chimney for two and a half days, well into the night both Saturday and Sunday nights.

Now, just a few days after beginning, we have a complete chimney!  Here it is on the first floor. 
This is looking in through the thimble to the flue.  

Here it is coming up through the second floor. 
And here is what it looks like outside. 




What do you think?  Pretty nice, huh?

 Eric, thank you so much for coming all this way to help us with this project.  We definitely could not have done it without you.
