Our Daddy the "Fixer Guy"

A Few months ago we noticed that our Brick work on our mantle was looking a little crumbly... I was worried that our whole chimney was going to fall down on us so I called a "Chimney fixer guy" and had him come out and look at it right away...
He explained that it was not that big of deal and we just needed some repairs- Old Chimney, crappy brick work, leaky fireplace! Then he gave me an estimate- $2,000.--Uhhh, For What?? So Malachi looked at what the guy said he was going to do and went down to Home depot and bought the stuff- He is not a professional mortar guy, but it ended up looking pretty good! He repaired the cracks, re-put in some bricks and put New Caps over the Chimney- and the supplies were only $200.00!!!
