Chimney falling....

[David P. Valley]

I happen to drive by this particular house in Lawrence, Ma. when I go to get some Spring Water. I'm taking bets on when this chimney will fall. I'm guessing this year some time.

I'm surprised to see that the homeowner is blinded by this deadly issue...

DV,

What's within the fall path/landing area?

Could be a video moment "with a little help from my friends"

Is it just me or does anyone else want to give that thing a little shove to see what happens???

[Doug Edwards]

I have to admit, I thought the same thing.

Well, the gap between the chimney and the wall is too large for caulk, suggest wraping the whole house in duct tape to prevent the gap from increasing.
I believe the Italians in Piza may have some suggestions

Are you sure it's the chimney?
If you tilt your head just a bit, well it could be the house.

Everytime I ride by the house, I'm seeing it inch out even further. I'm just trying to pinpoint a date of collapse.

July 14th 2008 is my guess

How do you know it's not falling up, with that cute little notch in the roof just waiting for it?

I'll keep you all updated on the movement over the next few months.

Why not call the city. How would you feel if kids were hurt when it fell and you had prior knowledge.

Have you left a card with the homeowner?
