Yeah, at least they attempted to stop the swaying on the windy days. They know that a good winter blizzard will topple this thing in a minute.

As I read through pages of posts on this subject, my heart raced with anticipation... only to find out it didn't fall. David I demand closure.... get your *** up there and kick it down!

Trust me, I want closure just as bad as the rest of you.

UPDATE....

We finally get CLOSURE....The falling chimney was removed.


That's OK...I now have a high retaining wall that is falling and I enjoy keeping you all in suspense. I need your guess on a fall date.

Stop and knock on the door introduce yourself and let them owner know their chimney is apparently moving and is likely to fall creating a liability for them. You might possibly create a loyal customer.
