The Good Day All Thread

Good Thursday morning all. Currently -9°C and snowing. Temperatures are going to rise to 0°C this afternoon, and then cool off again later. According to the radar, snow will be stopping shortly. Good thing, because today is errand and shopping day.
The Chimney cleaning went great yesterday, definitely worth the money for my piece of mind. He did almost every thing from inside, using a flexible cleaning brush/rod with a camera at the end and an enormous vacuum. He did a thorough cleaning and inspection before headed up on the room to clean and inspect the cap. I was very pleased with his work, and I'll be calling him back at the end of the burning season. I'd rather not do that job myself!
@Sjoerd My banana bread turned out great and it is already half gone! My kids lurve that stuff too!
Have a great day all

 

We have also had bird nests in the dryer vent, bats and birds in the double sided fireplace chimney and bees in the wall.
Even with various protective measures to prevent the invasion , birds. bats, bee’s are very clever little architects.

Netty chimney sweeps did a good job. That’s done. Do you have to have the chimney pass inspection in order to continue insurance for your house ?

DHR mentioned that in above post , to renew insurance proof of chimney inspection/ cleaning is needed.
