And trying to decipher the various estimates, & decide what "you really need" (as opposed to what different contractors are telling you), can be difficult. <br /> <br />IMO, rebuilding a chimney is an even more "mysterious" process for the average homeowner, than deciding on vinyl siding say, or a new furnace, even roofing. (If your roof leaks, it's a drag, & can do damage. If your old brick chimney collapses, or the clay liner is detoriorating, that may be one of the most serious issues facing a home/building owner). <br /> <br />This book is so detailed, that I'd bet that almost everything to do with chimneys or fireplaces is covered. It's hardbound, & printed on high-quality glossy paper, with many full-color photos & illustrations. <br /> <br />Highly recommended!
