Chimney: Before


We were initially very excited about exposing the chimney. Brick can add lots of character to an interior, and represents some of the house's history. Unfortunately, the chimney turned out to be most unstable (it shook when leaned on!) and would have cost too much to stabilize. So what does one do with an old chimney? Make a (backyard) pizza oven, of course! Peter and Alicia, our lovely former neighbors from Liebe Street, are in the process of collecting bricks for just this reason. Peter's joining Justin for the deconstruction extravaganza later this week. Keep an eye out for forthcoming photos of the oven!
