Chimney sweep

Swept both the chimneys this morning. We have just about run out of scrap softwood (door frames, old wooden step ladders, pallets, general waste offcuts etc) and are about to start using our stockpile of oak and ash logs. The softwood leaves quite a residue on the chimney liners and a sweep helps prevent any possible chimney fire and ensures the fires burn better. Once swept, the chimney has a draw on it strong enough to suck off your slippers. |   2:14:02 PM
