I’m looking to repoint and get a new Chase cover for his chimney. Looking for thoughts on how much a stainless chase cover would be for it. Two flu set up one flu from my 6 inch chimney liner and the other for the 8 in.² clay that goes to the basement.
I also know the chimney is in need of repointing . I want to put up some pictures to get thoughts on if this might be able to wait a year or if it looks like it needs it sooner than that.
Also, I wanted people‘s opinion on if repointing is a reasonable DIY project. I’ve never done it before, but enjoy learning how to do new things and how to do those things well and correct. That said, I’m also wondering if the new stainless cover is also a reasonable DIY project.
