well now I'm ready to do the final step and that is to waterproof everything
it's actually been a couple months and the chimney cap looks perfect there's no
cracks in it but I want to waterproof everything including the cap and all of
the bricks you can see all these bricks are still really bad chipped out and
this isn't going to fix any of that obviously but it's gonna hopefully
prolong the life of this chimney make sure no more water gets in there so I'm
gonna waterproof the top and all the bricks the waterproofing stuff I just
got on Amazon it was like 30 bucks an ass about this sprayer it was like 15 or
20 so I'm just gonna start waterproofing and let it go all the way down the other
thing I'd point out is I bought a harness and a rope from Amazon to the
harness was under 20 bucks the rope was 20 or 30 bucks and that's because our
roof at the gutter is 20 feet up and a chimney is about 30 and I really don't
want to fall off here where I'm climbing the ladder climbing another ladder but
if I do I want this harness so hopefully it'll stop me from falling off the edge
so
and I'm really gonna focus and I'm really gonna focus on this area and the
cap this isn't as important but I'm really gonna try to make sure no water
can get up and in here
well so far it's pretty straightforward but as far as coverage I filled this up
maybe a quarter of the way and I've already used all that up and I've only
gone down about three or four feet so this definitely isn't gonna do a whole
chimney unless you thin it out with something my my was like oh that jungle
covered this whole chimney I'm probably gonna get down to about this level which
is fine I don't need to do all the bricks this is the more important area
but just to let you know that that jog I'm sure it's on the quantities there
what it'll cover but for me it's probably only gonna do about ten feet in
that entire jug and this chimney is like I think seven by three or so
well that's it there's not much to it you just spraying it down the tough part
is you're 20 feet up on a roof I used 80% of the jug and I covered down
if you feed off the shingles there but I covered the worst area the area where I
think water's been getting in so that's it those are the three steps on how to
seal up your chimney hope it helps my advice is to do it before it gets this
man do it right when you start seeing those pop outs of bricks get it then so
it doesn't get any worse hopefully this lasts a lot longer Thanks
now we get to climb down with the ladder
the hardest part of the whole thing is getting this ladder over to there and
that follow now the steeper
