Good morning from a sunny day,
When I bought the house; there was not any chimney. Opened a hole for metal chimney pipes but they got rotten often due to freezing north wind.
So, started another DIY project to built a chimney to the house.
Base is ready; used a bit stronger concrete to be able to built them all on it.
Made a mistake at the beginning marking the wall hence the central of the hole moved a bit but still OK. Used my drill to open the holes for exhaust of the stove. First with number 3 then number 6 drill pins worked perfectly.
Here you go, ready to continue 😉
Like a baby; step by step!
To place last four bricks alone was impossible by stairs. Thank to next door neighbour he came to help. Before we start he cut the holes for exhaust and I framed with concrete.
Such a good team work; hvala puno komsija!
Used metal pins on every two bricks to support them from very strong north wind. Also used these metal belts on every 50 centimeters to connect the chimney to the wall.
Now it is time to make isolation to protect cold winds also.
Upon advise of neighbour, used stone wool and wrapped with mesh for concrete.
Time to make concrete over them all.
Thank to neighbour once more he helped over roof part. I gave materials tight on a rope and he took to the roof. It was such a good team work.
And after painting. Need to buy some more paint but will handle this later on; The supplier is on the way of Podgorica and no urgency yo drive 60 kilometres in total just for one item; we need to think nature 😊
Later on will make decoration or decorative paintings on it but do not know yet. After cleaning of the construction site applied a thin concrete layer around until the bottom of the stairs;
Day by day the dream is coming true and this makes me so happy.
Did you ever follow your dreams? I did it...
With love
