Re: Chimney extension
Thanks Bob. You are always so helpful. Here are some more pics. The one at the other end of the house was for a wood stove in finished basement.
That one also has a lean to it and the footing appears to be under sized.
Also poorly constructed and is out of plumb both ways.
The vinyl siding was installed over 1 inch foam insulation, and there is no 1 inch clearance as one area was exposed. (See Pic) They also mortared where chimney meets house. I figure this is to hide exposed foam or chimney is pulling away from the house.
The chimney front chimney from original pics was for gas boiler. Lots of water stains coming out of clean out and streaked on basement foundation. Inside of clean out had lots of debris. Water stains in attic sheathing/walls on both chimneys. Level 2 it is.
