Things are looking up at the Pond......
Thanks to encouragement and some hints on patching stucco from from CG13 in a private message, I took a stab at this myself. The affected area has been cleaned out and a skim coat of pre-mix stucco has been applied. The rest of the (freakin') chimney has been wire-brushed, patched where needed and a thick coat of paint has been rolled on. It took most of the week-end, but, it was nice to be outside and it didn't cost $8,000! After this patch dries up nice I'll try another skim coat of the pre-mix stucco and we'll see what happens!
