Chimney repairs

Another mess left by someone else was sorted out when we constructed a timber framework to support half of the chimney stack that was left "hanging" when the chimney breast was removed...
Who employs these people?!!

Progress this week centred on constructing a framework to support sone corrugated sheeting which will conceal the oil tank itself & hopefully prevent a repeat of this years expensive disaster...

The project that has occupied us for most of this season took a step nearer completion this weekend when we installed the new oil tank onto its frame ready to be commissioned.
This time we'll make sure that the tank is protected from the oil thieves...

Raising the tank the four or so feet onto its platform wasn't as difficult as we were expecting, we built a ramp from the longest pieces of 4x2 we could find, braced it to keep it parallel, supported it midway to stop it flexing too much & then pushed the tank up it...
