Chimney and a new outlook

Mr. Builder Jr. was at the house again today working on the chimney.  Its amazing to see that the majority of the chimney has now been installed.  Here are a few views:
First floor, next to the future fireplace

Second floor running up through front bedroom.

The connection to the fireplace.

And while I was photographing the chimney, Joern found the installation directions for the chimney.  Maybe this could be a future carreer for Joern.


After a little entertainment pause, I went to the front terrace to check out the doorway for the chimney sweep to use.


Besides the chimney, Mr. Builder Jr. also cut a large part of the border of the front terrace away. 

Which seems strange, but the floor will be much higher in the future, and this wall will be flush with the floor and the french doors.
It is a big improvement over this:


Well, that's all from the homefront for right now.  I wish you a very happy St. Patrick's Day from our German/American with a little bit of Irish mixed in home :)
