This is the best our slope has looked (without any effort from me) in many years. It is a shame that it will only last a few more days. Needless to say, things are slow at the "Crack House" this winter. Spring will soon be here though. I just can't wait to rebuild my chimney this spring! Are you as excited for me? I only have to carry several hundred bricks up three flights of stairs and then 13 feet up a ladder to the top part of the roof. Any volunteers from the audience? It's a great work-out. Builds up leg muscle. Will test your stamina and it's character building .... anyone?

I was going to offer to help if you came down and refinished my floors. Then, I was worried that you might actually take me up on it, and I'd have to haul your bricks. That would suck. I hauled all the bricks from the Devil Queen's original lot to our place; I figure we moved around 4000 bricks (not including the foundation stones). That wasn't fun. I can't imagine it with stairs. You'd have sweeten that deal with a lot of beer and even more scotch. Good luck.
I was totally planning on helping. See, this thing came up at work, and the kids will likely be sick, and my car has been making this clungy-clunk-zzzzz-clunk noise that I absolutely must get taken care of. But, I really will miss being there.
P.S. Just found your blog. v. nice. I'll definitely stop back often.
Wow, the chimney sounds like an ambitious project! Wish I could help, but I've been laid up with a back injury since a car accident over the holidays. (I'm dreading that snow leaving our slope, too, since no gardening is going to happen anytime soon. Argh. I guess I should at least get back on the blog and post pics of the tiny south-park themed infant hats I've been knitting while sitting on my behind).
I'd help, but my arthritis is acting up...
I'm not even going to bother with an excuse. No, I won't help. I am way excited for you though! A new chimney is a wonderful thing. :)
