Zac noticed there was stucco falling off the top of our chimney, and during recent rains we could hear water dripping near the fireplace. Monsoon season is coming fast, so last weekend he decided to fix it. When the original owners stuccoed the chimney, they did not continue the chicken wire from the sides up and around the top, so the stucco cracked all the way around the top. Zac removed all the old stucco, as well as the plywood underneath and one rotted 2 x 4. He replaced the wood, the installed some drip edge and roofing felt. He bent and cut some of the leftover steel roofing panels that we have, and used that for the top.
We don't have any "before" pictures as he started early in the morning, and finished late in the afternoon. But here's how it looks now.
Zac needed to purchase another flue cap for the second chimney, so for now the second hole is covered in aluminum tape to prevent water from getting inside.
