Chimney job.

[Retired]

Hi,

Thanks David and yes the newness of the stone will wear off in time. I've used my angle grinder many times but it is one power tool I really dislike especially for cutting masonry as it covers absolutely everything in fine dust and makes such a racket whilst doing so; it does work though and is a good tip as many members will possibly not know an angle grinder will cut masonry with the correct cutting disc fitted. I just used the lump hammer and bolster and have had a lot of practice over the years cutting items such a paving flags. Yes I'll be pleased to add my tree felling story shortly thank you for mentioning it.

I think you are better safe than sorry Trevor by remaining on solid ground if you are not too confident working up in the air as a fall could be your last.

Thanks Jamie; you are doing what lads do best and I too thought nothing of climbing high trees bird nesting many years ago and if you are like me you will most likely still be climbing trees into old age; I'm 63 and as David knows I still climb trees to drop all the branches before felling the trunk. Have you ever been down a coal mine Jamie because I was working down one aged 15 before health and safety was invented?

Tomorrow we plan to visit this company who are local to us to buy a new chimney pot;
