Thank God it’s not a Witches Bend. LOL!
Don’t want to go down that rabbit hole again.

Since you brought it up…

Witches Bend in Chimney

The slanting of chimneys in older houses is common in this area. It is called a Witches Bend. Supposedly it kept witches from flying down the chimneys. I guess it worked, because I never found any signs of witches during my inspections. Anyway, does anyone know of a practical reason why chimneys were built this way? :-k [witches bend.JPG]
