- Removing a chimney can be overwhelming or scary, but it doesn't have to be. Chimneys typically are in a position most people are not comfortable to work in, but if you make you way on the roof, the right tools make the job of removing a chimney much easier.

You put more care and quality workmanship in this freebie repair than most roofers put into doing a whole roof. Hallmark of RR Builders.
Really? Just remember 99.9% of tradespeople don't post stuff on TH-cam.
Lol its true. Roofer came out and patched a hole in my roof. He put a piece of metal (thin gauge) over the whole and shingled on top of it. If anyone ever walks there, theyre done lol
I watched this entire video without skipping anything. Totally entertaining. The house lift would be awesome.
I would love to see them raise the house hope you can set that up
Enjoyed the different video. And yes it would be interesting to see the house lifted.
Yes, definitely video the house lifting and new foundation that entire process
Definitely want to see that house lifting and every bit of the process you can get some content on.
“I’m just glad we got the Diablo blade” 😂😂
Yes to foundation video!❤
As a three tab shingle roof owner, I found you can hide those last dollops/“bird poop” on the ridge cap. Rub two scrap shingles over it. The flakes or grains that come off stick to the tar and color match. Hides it from ground level nicely. Just my 2¢
Yes, very much want to see the raising of the building if you can set it up. Been watching you guys for 6 years and this is just another addition to awesome videos
I’m a roofer .you guys did a fine job. Those Omni Roll ridge vents usually come with 1 3/4” roofing coil nails you can use with that Dewalt cordless.
Greg shut down that "Good Looking Guy" comment with aplomb! 24:00 HAHAH!!! We would LOVE to see the foundation work if your friend wouldn't mind!! ✌😄
😂
Putting a new foundation under an existing house takes special skills. I have done it a few times, and every time there were different challenges. I found that the most effective way was to use a house mover to jack the house up. All your jacks are on the exterior and allows for foundation work without anything in the way. The only problem is moving around and transporting the large beams. Some as big as 16" x 16" and 30 to 40 foot long. Solved that problem with a logging truck with its own crane for lifting the beams.
It is great that the house is being saved and going through the renovation. More families will be able to enjoy it. Your lift makes the work so much more productive and safer. Expensive yes. But a fall could kill someone or disable. Can't put a price on that.
Remember doing roofing back when I was younger. Don't miss it a bit.
Hey Kyle and Greg. TH-cam Fred Dibnah. Old school guy from Bolton UK who scaled massive 150ft chimneys on wooden ladders and took them down 1 brick at a time. Really interesting documentaries about him. Stay safe both.
RIP Fred Dibnah UK legend
I did enjoy it. It's something different, but I enjoyed watching the process. Yes, we'd love to watch them lift the house and put the new foundation under it, even if it's not very detailed. It should be very interesting and informative.
Kyle, you and Greg are simply the Best ! By all means, try to video that old house for us !!
Yes! Yes! Yes! There are many out there like myself that enjoy seeing houses lifted and new fountains installed.
Nice change of scenery, and having a break from workshop build, go back to it refreshed.
Great job guys! What i like about Kyle is that he's not a one brand fan boy, I see Metabo, Makita, Milwaukee, DeWalt!
absolutely would like to see the house get lifted and prepped for basement
PLEASE yes, do the video on lifting the house! As I’ve commented before, I often watch you doing similar things to what my grandfather did, but using modern methods and tools that he never had access to. Showing the house lifting would be doing something that it sounds like you have only done once at your first property, while my grandpa did that, many many times, either lifting or moving houses. For the lift they would use screwjacks and manpower to crank them up! I remember when we were doing some project at home and my dad went looking for the screwjacks, and they had disappeared. Grandpa always painted his tools to try to discourage theft, but the screwjacks were very much in demand by other builders, or someone may have wanted them for scrap. Anyway, once they got the building jacked up, if they were moving it, they used iron wheels. When my dad was young, grandpa had a Caterpillar Sixty that they used to pull, and one of the men would start it, and then from the age of five my dad would drive. It was very slow, of course, so he was responsible enough to do that. All the men did the bending back of the telephone polls, cutting trees, etc.. I got to see him do the last one, a big white four square house that had to crest the hill and come down another until it was level, again, all on those iron wheels. By that time, there was no cat, so the pole was done by a John Deere 350 crawler, which was probably way way less horsepower than your track loader! Later when we moved to Illinois I got to meet one of the Muehlfelts (hope I spelled that right) and when he found out that my grandpa had been in the same business, it was like we were family, and he proudly took me to see his new monster tow vehicle. So I bet lots of people would really like to see that jacking up done. The last time I saw a video of their company doing that, they were using a skid loaderto run the steel beams through to do the lift.
Would be awesome to see some videos on this build for joe. Good job on the patch up job
Yea you should Video the Foundation Replacement!!
Thanks to you Both! oh Joe too, he "allowed" you to work on and make his roof, dry, secure & Famous!
Kyle, definitely love to see a video of the house raising and foundation build.
I think it would be cool to see the house jacked up and new basement poured.
definitely would be cool to see the house lifting process and foundation building process
love to see a video lifting that up and installing a basement
I spent 20 years working with and for the same person. My wife always called him my “work wife” and yes I spent more time with my work wife. Retired now so we are “divorced.”
Love the different content from time to time. It would be awesome to see the lifting and new basement.
Definitely want to see the house lifted
Yes, Please, film the house lift. Maybe even the foundation removal and replacement?
I was just thinking about how I’m gonna remove the chimney on my house the other day and then you made a nice video on it. Thank you sir
The foundation job would be pretty cool to see nice work fellas
I would like to see the basement replacement vlog of Joe’s house. That would be really cool.
Well done as always. Yes, please document and share the house raising and foundation work beneath w/house overhead. Thank You
I loved getting to watch this type of job. I would look forward to seeing how they raise the house and do the new foundation.
Kyle, Greg anticipates your every move either the right tool on hand. Just like in a OR.
Love to see the house jacked up and basement/foundation replaced.
For sure would love to see the basement video.
We usually try and use a boomlift instead, get you closer so you don't have to throw the brick so far. Plus if you feel safety conscious you can use a harness and roof pitch don't matter as much for how comfortable it is to work on. If it is an old chimney with lime mortar it's just as easy to just knock them loose with a hammer as using a SDS, but when it is with cement, like it looked you had, a SDS is the way to go.
Yes do a video of the process
Perfect timing, I need to remove a chimney before winter. Now it doesn’t seem so daunting
YES STOP BY AND VIDEO THE FOUNDATION LIFT!!!
Tearing down chimneys is hot here because you can insulate better and a potential leak risk is taken away. With the ceramic tiling it is not so easy as with shingles.
We have to get a permit for demoing and the flora and fauna needs to be examined. That bat is reason to forbid the teardown. It seems so fast and easy over with you guys.
Yes would like to see the foundation and basement work. Need to do the same with my leaky basement.
Such comradery! Even taking down a chimney requires skill and the right tools.
The part I was most curious about actually was how you peeled the shingles back and tied the new ones in. Seemed like that was skipped. Just make sure you cover that next time! good stuff.
Great job, looks as if there were never any chimney...
Removing these makes me quite sad, ther's nothing like a real wood stove, heating your home and your mind as well!
I wish that my landlord wouldn't had removed the chimneys on my flat also so that I could have a nice wood stove here...
Thanks for showing, love the banter between you and Greg!
👍👍👍
Never too early for beers!!🍺
Great vid! I have to say I'm not good with heights - watching you guys working without a net, so to speak, is scary. But you're the expert, just be careful..
I would like to see the house jacked up and the process for setting back on a new foundation
The existing roof/shingles look pretty good. The owner should have a roofing contactor assess the roof. If the roof is serviceable he can save a couple of grand.
Great video and definitely do the video with the house lift
seeing the house lifted will be great!
I removed a chimney once... Inside the attic in July! It was not fun! I baked like a chicken, and stunk like a pig! At least you boys had a nice breeze and didn't have to contend with the dust floating all around.
Never too early for beers when you’re doing stuff on a roof! Greg is getting wiser 😂
would love to see the home lifted. thinking about doing that to mine. no crawl space to speak of
I wish you guys were wearing harnesses. Want to keep you around for more videos.I did not even notice anything off with the sound. Great video. Thanks.
Great work as always and some 'laugh out loud' moments. The house lift video is a great idea!
Freudian slip but quick rebound. Nice work. House lift video would be cool. Thanks for quality content.
Love to see them raise up Joe’s house and build a new foundation!
So weird, just bought a house and want to take out the chimney but have never done it, perfect timing! 😂
Yes, show us what they find on this old house.
ProTip, Get the Hultafors 108 Mini prybar. Best damn prybar i ever own.. cheap and good! perfect for small nails and prying.
Enjoyed the different video. Would love to see how they lift the house for new foundation.
Our house was built in 1903 and had a dry laid stone foundation. We had the house jacked up in the air and put in new piers and footings so I know how hard working under an existing house can be. We had to remove two chimneys.
Now that's a cool old house!
I'll love to see the jack up process..
Definitely wanna watch the house being lifted.
I'd love to see the process at Joe's house! Understand if Joe doesn't agree, or if you don't have the time, but I would enjoy seeing that process with your commentary!
Yes, love to see them putting a new basement under that.
Love to see the building lift.
yes; video that old house! love the ancient reno's
Definitely want to see the farmhouse lift.
I need to do this on my house. Thanks for the video!
Remember it’s 5 o’clock somewhere. 😂 great job as always guys. 👍👍🏴🏴
Would love to see the refoundation!
I’m here for a video of that house getting raised!
Hard to believe how nice the roof line looks with a foundation like it is.
Yeah, would like to see that foundation video.
Would be fun to see that lift. Hope you can make it happen.
Can't wait for the next handyman project....lol. Do make a series of the House raising and new foundation and basement !
Cool change of pace.
Have you ever heard of pitch hoppers? They make working on a steeper roof so easy
Gotta film the house lifting process!
I wished my chimney would be as easy a removal as that. Mine intersects the Utility room it services, and the house roof section next to it a couple feet taller, so there's siding involved, roof reframe on two planes. Arghh. :)
Recently my friend bought a salesman brick sample board from the Purington Brick Company in Galesburg and those chimney bricks looked similar but I suppose many companies offered that style.
Would love to see the foundation video!
I just finished raising a house and redoing the foundation here in the netherlands so would love to see how you lot would do it over in the states.
Do it, love to see a old home loved and cared for
Kyle, after watching this video, I found out something that you and Greg can’t do………. Sing! Your singing is better than mine for sure, but keep your day job. lol.
Good informative video. How to remove a chimney the right way.
Greg jinxed that Diablo blade for sure 🤪
Yes to more of this content. Yes to the house raise. 👍🏻
Tossing the bricks toward the propane tank was a moderately exciting visual.
