I just bought a house that was chopped and changed by an idiot,my question is regarding the brick built chimney that runs from ground level to second floor.I am guessing the chimney was built in 1990 looks to be in good shape pointing etc however there is one problem.When they constructed the chimney they built it over the vinyl siding!!!!!From what I can see the brick structure overlaps siding on each side by about 5 inches,do you think this is safe?I will try to post some pics tomorrow,thanks
