| The tree is off the roof, but the crane that helped to do it isn't large enough to lift the chimney back onto its axis. They have to rent a larger crane to attempt that. If it doesn't work, they will have to remove the broken part brick by brick and rebuild the chimney. The brick mason estimates that the broken part weighs between 5 and 6 tons! The crane that is here now - even though it is a 40 ton crane - would tip and come through the roof if they tried to use it to lift the bricks. Wish us luck and stay tuned. |

Wishing you all the luck in the world, sending postive energy your way :)
I suppose you absolutely have to have a chimney?
Little by little you are getting there. Quite a photo you have posted!

Ohhhhhhhhhhh my!!!!!!!!!! I hope you have good insurance!!!! It looks like a job for Batman to me!!!! Hugs and prayers, my friend!!!!
I bet you wish that tree had fallen in the woods! Good luck !
Amazing that they made such short work of the tree!!
Here's hoping your home and grounds are as good as new in no time.
Good luck!
I guess this just isn't going to be easy. I didn't realize your chimney is almost broken in half.
Sure hope crane "2" can do the job. This must be so stressful.
That's quite a crack in the chimney and in an awkward place. Glad the tree has been removed, sending my good thoughts your way and praying everything goes smoothly from here on out. Glad its not winter.
Keeping everything crossed for you that things are sorted real soon.
What do a bunch of guys know anyway? Judy I bet you and I could get on the roof and push that chimney back into place! Right?
OMG! So glad they realized that the crane could not handle the job BEFORE they started.
Fingers and toes crossed!
