Left: Finished chimney showing decorative grooves. Groovy.

Finish is REAL white portland cement
and REAL silica sand. Completely random texture is done by Proteus, a fictitious artist. Proteus wears duct tape on his shoes so people think he is a starving artist. |
Arch is formed with masonite. The outside
corner is formed by nailing a one by four and filling in. |
TOP LEFT: Scaffold on roof is made with lumber, and
designed
to take the weight of the ridge vent, or the area on the peak of the
roof.
Note how roof is covered with tarpaper and tape to avoid mortar on
roof.
TOP: Brown coat on gable ends. LEFT: Mynor rods off brown coat. |
