Chimneys are built after the house is framed, the builder tells the mason where the chimney is the exit the house, the mason builds the chimney to reach that point. Many of them are intentionally built "crooked" so the leave the roof where the builder wanted.

While Im watching, Im thinking about the memories that were made in that old home, how many adults remember this house when remembering their child hood. The home I grew up in was sold after we all grew up and moved out. Another family has now raised their children and they have grown up and moved. And its still in great shape, worth around 200,000, we paid 9,998 in 1957. But the good part is memories dont go away only the platform they were made at.

The crooked chimney was on purpose. They used to build them that way supposedly to aid in a better draft. We tore down an old (1904) house here in Idaho last fall that had the same thing; The chimney for the old coal -->> oil furnace was way leaned over, but the fireplace (probably built years later) was straight up and down.

They sure don't build them like they used to! When we do a demolition we try to see if the local fire department would like to use it for training, it's easier to burn that way because you don't have to worry about permits and the fire department gets needed training. It's a win, win for everyone. Really liked the video, nothin like mayhem and destruction!

I use to live in a old A-frame house about 8 years ago, It still had the original windows with the counter weights to keep it opened. The only thing that was new to the house was a sliding door for the back door. I had to move eventually because the area turned into the "slum" part and the house was gonna cost more to renovate or remodel than to just sell it for what it was. It was a shame to see it go but at least someone got proper use out of the land and built a better house in its place.
