Good thing you know what you're doing with that scaffolding. So many people have absolutely no idea how dangerous they are when not properly stabilized. Hi hopefully people appreciate your educational video. Thank you for sharing. God bless 🙏

I usually set a toe board above the gutter slightly longer span than the scaffolding. I use the same GRK lags under the shingles to secure the roof jacks. Run a couple short 2x4s from the toe board to the scaffold boards and fasten with screws. Ratchet strap the roof jacks to the scaffolding so the ground scaffolding is rock solid and keeps the scaffolding spaced an inch away from the gutter. It’s good to take a couple early safety steps because accidents do happen with loose debris. The extra toe board can save a person from falling off the roof. I’ve had a couple close calls and had a ladder slip out from me. After that injury; ladder safety, scaffolding safety are a priority. I’ll take the little extra time with my setups because I will never forget that injury.

I take a lot more time now building a decent setup to work on than when I was younger. I never charged for scaffolding setups back then; so I would rush through everything, put pallets on edge and nail to them, and whatever kind of stupid stuff that worked. Now that I charge for scaffolding, I can take my time and do it a lot safer.

Hello Chad, I've been working for 5 years at a large masonry company here in Boston, and this year, I started taking on some freelance jobs. I have a chimney project very similar to the one you did, and I need to demolish and rebuild it. Could you tell me how much you charged for this job? Total cost for scaffolding, debris removal, re-flashing, etc. Thank you very much.

I’m trying to not make my channel about pricing, as it changes wildly by region, company needs, and materials prices. I will say, break it down to every task that needs to be done. Charge for: scaffolding setup and removal, demolition and removal, laying brickwork, installing crown wash, lead flashing, roofing if needed, acid wash if necessary, flue installation if needed. If you itemize everything it will help you build a proper price. Get on the roof and do a thorough inspection, so you know exactly what you’re getting into. Make it worth doing on your own, you’re in Boston so prices will be higher than most areas. Do not work for your daily wage at the company you work for.

The banter between you and the boys is hilarious, since they can give you just as much crap as you give them. Let’s hope at least one of them starts paying enough interest to keep the quality workmanship going for another generation.

Not sure why we can get standard flue tiles but no standard brick anywhere.. I've tried laying hard sewers and water struck but I can't get them to soak up the water in the mud unless I use like warm water or something, it's crazy..

It’s hard to be productive laying water struck brick on a chimney. I have used accelerators in the mortar in the past and it seems to help. Using profiles and dori blocks are the way to go with that; no tapping the brick, or level.

Muriatic acid is a persistent metallic compound and will destroy mortar if not neutralized with ammonia. Acetic acid is an organic acid and will neutralize naturally. I use Vinegar. Varn makes a type 600 cleaner.

If you use muriatic acid follow it with dilute amonia and then water. From 1914 Audel Masons handbook.

They are 6’4” tall so I don’t have to bend over the entire time. They do measure 5’ front to back and I did have to use a 5’ wide brace to fit the space. Typically I use 7’ braces.
