Tom R. and Lily I. in Ruxton, MD, realized that the house of their dreams was…

(way too big)

 

 

This is a nice chimney…. But it has a HOUSE next to it!

Deconstruction means saving the building materials for future use.

 

 

 

 

 

Valentine is ready to do repairs, using brick from another chimney.

 

 

 

Finished and ready to grill over an open fire. Let’s add a stone patio and walkway.
