I was half expecting this video to just be 19 minutes of Chuck swearing. So I was pleasantly surprised to have this video taking a tour through Chuck's home renovations adventures in the style of one of his essays, gripping stuff.
I hope this all gets resolved safely and happily and totally understand the hiatus in video releases...

Re: The Chimney of Surprise.
I wonder, was it that someone built a chimney on top of a doorway, or did someone decide to build a doorway under a chimney?
Re: The Chimney of Surprise.
I believe I see your problem. You believe your house isn't haunted going by that sign when you had it for sale. I suggest saucers of milk in front of every door, salt randomly scattered throughout and not standing under any checking the whole place top to bottom for any other surprises like the skeleton behind a basement wall.
Glad no one got hurt though.

Is it possible your house is haunted by an insane construction foreman from the early Industrial Era? I feel like a Secret Chimney falls under that umbrella.

Clearly, at some point the house got sucked into a spatial anomaly and scrambled like a rubik's cube
Re: The Chimney of Surprise.
It turns out, multiple previous owners of Chuck's originally ordinary turn of the century house were this guy.

Re: The Chimney of Surprise.
Could someone have removed it from the room at some point in the past to get a bit more space, and removed it above the roofline, and ignored the bit in the middle?
On the electricity front someone in the past might've tried to bypass the meter in the past to steal power.
Fair play to whoever made the door though, don't expect them to be able to take that.

My parents are selling their house around the end of the year. Maybe I should add a chimney to their attic, as a gift to the next owner.

Serious question: did you ever reach out to This Old House on PBS?

Re: The Chimney of Surprise.
Any progress removing lower-half of the chimney or is Chuck just going to unconsciously put MORE reinforced beams to conceal the damage?
