Four chimneys on this house. One in each sort of wing. Two of which were letting water through. A run of fine weather, a loan of some scaffolding and the exhilaration of exposure as I stepped out on the unguarded top to finally fix them both. Cement, lime, sand, poly fibres, waterproofing admixture and it was like icing a cake. Tucked in the flashings and the odd slipped slate while I was up there and enjoyed the view of Keri’s lovely garden from this lofty altitude.
