Chimney Exterior

As part of the larger chimney job, I needed to fix the leaks in the crown, and fix the seal around the base.  The roofing guys did a really crappy job sealing around the chimney.
It looks like they assumed the flashing was all that was needed, as the tar paper wasn't sealed to the chimney.  So, cleanup, removed flashing, new cap seal, and sealing around the edges.
Next step will be a little more cleanup, and then re-seal the masonry on both sides.  I also will have to dig up around the base at the ground level, as there doesn't seem to be any sealing there.
