Shoe Maker's children

[Jeff Beck]

After spending the past several months climbing on customer's roofs. I finally got a chance to get up on my own where I see that both chimneys have cracked concrete caps.

I vaguely remember some years back some talk about a caulk type product made specifically for repairing cracks in concrete chimney caps.

Before I go back up with the hydrostatic I thought I'd check to see if there is anything better to seal with.

Does anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks!

Metal. The stainless kind.

[hausdok]

Yeah,

Fix it right by placing a reinforced concrete cap with a built-in drip edge and expansion joint.

I've sent you an article offline via email with attachments showing how you can do that in one afternoon.

Uhm, I think he means cobbler, as in 'the cobbler's kids have no shoes'

Thanks for all the replies, stainless it is.

Mike, a special thank you for the article (and for all you do).

The shoe maker's children title was meant as a joke, I haven't had time to get up on my own roof.

It's a copyrighted article scanned from a magazine. I'll probably get in trouble for scanning and distributing it but not as much trouble as I would if I displayed it here without permission.

You can fabricate a metal cap as mentioned above, it is used rather effectively around here.
