I'm not really sure what I've spent my time on this summer, but I finally realized the other day that I never did fix that chimney crown that was crumbling away. So, I called the "local" concrete place and the guy said they have some precast caps in stock. I'll pick one up tomorrow and hopefully start in on it this weekend. I'm also planning on tuck pointing the chimney and then giving both the chimney and the crown a good coat or two of sealant.
I also ordered a few bags of loose fill perlite to dump in around the liner. I know I won't be able to get too much in, but I think that every little bit will help. Now I just need to seal up the bottom clean out door really well, mortar in around the snout where my liner comes out, and I should be set to start pouring it once it arrives.
Maybe I'll even through some pictures up if it all turns out decent.
