Chimney Sag
Author: BlackWidow

I pulled out some buildings that have been in storage for nearly 7 years.  They are all laser cut buildings with metal castings for chimneys.  Nearly every chimney looked like this.  They have been stored in a hot, humid garage, but I couldn't believe it when I saw this.  And yes, I know the jokes will write themselves...

Has anyone on TO had this happen before?

I'd leave them the way they are and tell everyone that it was the result of a tornado.

Maybe you could remove them, heat them up and bend them back in shape?

Was it stored on it's side?

It was not stored on its side.  Several buildings had this happen to the chimneys, but others did not.  Just so very strange.  I will likely pull them out and see what I can do to straighten them out or replace them,

They'd look right at home in Mojave.

"Dorothy! Dorothy!"

When I read the title I expected this to be a picture of some railroad location called Chimney Sag. Sounds like something that would be in western Virginia.

Try heating them with a heat gun and bend them back?

Just put them back in that storage area after rotating 90˚, then wait for approx. 3.5 years. 😂

Just drop a Viagra down each chimney.
