Did he get up on the roof in the rain?

Or do it from inside the house?

We still have to clean our chimney before we start up the fire.

SO MUCH TO DO.

He did it from inside. The chimney sweep we hired was too scared to go on the roof to clean it. Hubby went up there and caulked around the chimney a while back.

I thought he decided the roof was too steep to get up there

He put the big ladder up there and i stood on the bottom so he didn't tip when he got up high.

You have plenty of time! As I recall you hold off on heat until your breath freezes as you exhale.


LOVELY weather for cleaning a chimney!

My thought too. I just live here. But there was a lot of soot up there.

Alaskan, you mentioned before your kids sleep with the windows open all winter, they can't stand warmth.

Yeah I know... odd kids.

best way wrap a rock in a towel old preferred tie a rope long enough or take a old logging chain bang it about clean a chimney right up

Good way to crack all the liner segments. Then they can store creosote and you can have a REALLY good chimney fire.

OK SCG, we KNOW you have some amazing skills but I'm guessing getting diseases of organs you do not have is somewhat beyond even your abilities.
