The corrugated zinc chimney
.
The story of the corrugated zinc sheet chimney, in a Trás-os-Montes village, is a story of ingenuity and adaptability.
The village, located in a mountainous area of ​​Portugal, was a poor and isolated place.
Building materials were scarce and expensive, and the villagers had to be creative to build their homes.
One day, a man in the village had the idea of ​​using corrugated zinc sheets to build a chimney for his house. Zinc sheets were light and cheap, and could be easily formed into tubes.
The man's idea was a success, and soon other people in the village began building chimneys from corrugated zinc sheets. Chimneys were efficient and durable, and they helped keep homes warm in the winter.
The chimney made of corrugated zinc sheets became a symbol of the ingenuity and adaptability of the village's inhabitants. It was a testament to his ability to find creative solutions to his problems.
The photograph shows a chimney made of corrugated zinc sheets in the Trás-os-Montes village of Águas Frias (Chaves) - Portugal. The chimney is made of corrugated zinc sheets that have been molded into the shape of a tube. The chimney is attached to the roof of the house by a series of supports.
This chimney is a typical example of the corrugated zinc sheet chimneys that are common in Trás-os-Montes villages. It is a symbol of the ingenuity and adaptability of the region's inhabitants.

The chimney in the photo belongs to a house in a small Trás-os-Montes village. The house is owned by a farming family who have lived in the village for several generations.
The chimney was built by the current family's great-grandfather many years ago. At that time, building materials were scarce and expensive, and great-grandfather had to be creative to build the chimney.
He decided to use corrugated zinc sheets, which were a lightweight and cheap material. He shaped the sheets into a tube and attached them to the roof of the house with a series of brackets.
The chimney has been a village landmark for many years. It is a symbol of the ingenuity and adaptability of the region's inhabitants.
The family that lived in the house still takes great pride in the chimney. They know it is a symbol of the history of their family and their village.
I think they will take care of the chimney with care and thus ensure that it is always in good condition, making it a milestone in the history of the Village.
