I’d like to point out a couple of things here in this photo…
Have you noticed that the angled pitch of the shoulders of a chimney always matches the pitch of the roof above it?
Well, at least that’s the way they have been done historically… but I’ve seen many new homes completely ignore this little detail.
Also notice the salvaged limestone rocks that we have used to build this chimney. Limestone comes out the ground black in color but quickly develops a patina of light grey.
The process of salvaging and shaping this recycled stone has exposed some of that blackness… which disappeared in just a couple of years.
