fortunately the chimney work we're doing is on the outside. plan is to wrap old tin ceiling material that was salvaged from 1st floor around the outside of 2nd floor chimney. to do so we need to find a way to mount the tin panels without overly disturbing the chimney itself, eg don't poke holes into it and rest forever in the gentle arms of carbon monoxide.
initially thought to stick a sheet of plywood to the face of chimney but after initial attempt we went back to drawing board. now in the middle of assembling a frame out of unused 1x3 floor boards. this should give us more than enough structure to attach tin panels as well as leaving chimney itself relatively undisturbed.
so far only one of three panels have been assembled. soon as the frame's up we'll post pictures of the tin wrap.
