Massive, *massive* heebie jeebies watching him lash that corner board with some 3/4 hemp rope, with no safety line between him and his half day with the undertaker. The chimney swaying 2 to 3 inches... um, nope. Oh, I believe him, but I'll collect my telemetry from terra firma, thankyouverymuch.

I also noticed the regular bands around the circumference of the chimney, keeping the bricks from bulging outward, restraining the force in a downward direction where the bricks are strongest, in compression.
