I kn...Brave, indeed! =D But I fear for your safety. I know it’s important to have a functional and clean chimney, but one wrong step could send you to the hospital. I suggest hiring a professional to do it for you instead. You can still help, if you can’t resist. But be sure to have a safety harness on.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.masterroofersinc.com/" rel="nofollow">Lakisha Autin</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732041046244298983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023803000478958088.post-55340866145734442852011-09-22T07:42:23.646-04:002011-09-22T07:42:23.646-04:00Thanks.

Husband is terrified of heights, #1 is clumsy, #2 does alright. #4 is a little nervous and a bit clumsy, so he did most of the work on the ground.<br /><br />Firebricks go on the inside of a wood stove or fireplace. They're denser and hold the heat in. On the outside of the chimney you want the heat to release, so regular clay bricks are better.<br /><br />Yeah, all the interesting stuff happens around here when I'm too busy to write about it. We're getting cooler, rainy weather now, so things start slowing down some.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11557512606416161272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023803000478958088.post-7194444232529047392011-09-21T19:22:48.068-04:002011-09-21T19:22:48.068-04:00You are so brave to be on a roof!

It's amazing the way people in stores behave. Did they think that since they broke the bricks, you probably would change your mind about staying warm this summer? I have seen some of the repairs done to this house by former owners. It' sad. It is getting cool here, so I can imagine you were getting panicky way up in Canada. <br /><br />I just looked at your to do list-Summer. You got quite a bit done! No wonder you don't post very often.Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
