Looks like there's a reason, chimney, roof etc., looks like a giant rodent was gnawing on the block and clay flue tile LOL !

He was a farmer by birth and a farmer by choice, and like many returning soldiers, he was our silent hero: without medals or decorations, but with a certain ability to survive.
