CHIMNEY IS NOW CLEANED... AND VIDEO'D - THERE IS ABOUT A 6 INCH PLACE WHERE 2 OF TERH 2 FOOT LINERS HAVE LOST WHATEVER FILLED TEH 1/2 INCH WIDE HOLE-- FOR THAT - THIS CLEANER GUY ( $269 CLEAN AND VIDEO TAPE) CHECKED OFF THE LITTLE BOX THAT SAID I SHOULD NOT USE IT TILL I GOT IT FIXED... WHICH HIS COMPANY COULD DO... WITH A STAINLESS STEEL FULL LEGNTH LINER HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HIS COMPANY WOUOLD CHARGE FOR THAT... BUT HE DID KNOW THAT IT WAS $450 FOR A SS DAMPER THAT WOUL D SIT ON TOP- OF THE CHIMNEY AND COULD BE CLOSED FROM BELOW WITH A CABLE..
I WONDERED WHAT WOUOLD HAPPEN NEXT TIME I HAD AQN EXPLOSION
( WHICH SEEMS I AM DESTINED TO HAVE)WOUOLD THAT THING JUST GET SHOT INTO WILLOWDALE STATE FOREST-- OR REMAIN SHUT AND EXPLODE INTO MY LIVING ROOM.
THE ONLY SOLUTION TO MAKE IT SAFE..... I WAS TOLD....WAS THES STAINL3SS STEEL LINER.. BUT I SAID... IF COMPANIES CAN SQUIRT CONCRETE UP 50 STORIES TO SKYSCRAPOERS IN NEW YORK CITY, DO YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THERE IS NO ONE WHO CAN CAUSE SOME GOOP TO FILL THAT SMALL CRACK UP 10 FEET???-- IF NOT WE BETTER INVENT SOME.
SO I AM GOOGLING ... WITH THE HELP OF A FEW CP'S ADVICE.
==
2 THINGS DO CONCERN ME---
ONCE THAT PAPER IS SIGNED, I EITHER FIX IT OR FORGET ANY INSURANCE IF THE PLACE BURNS DOWN... (? MAYBE IT IS INSURANCE COVERED??)
MORE THAN THAT... IN THE VIDEO OF THAT CRACK, I COULD SEE TINY DUST PARTICLES BEING DRAWN INTO THAT HOLE... NOW THAT MEANS THERE IS SOME KIND OF DRAFT DRAWING STUFF IN.. AND MUST BE UP. I WAS UNAWARE THAT THERE MIGHT BE EVEN A GAP BETWEEN TEH CERIMAC LINER AND ALL THOSE ROCKS... BUT THERE WAS SOME KIND OF DRAFT.
WITH THAT IN MIND I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.... AS YET UNDECIDED...
I PLAN CARRY AROUND THE PHOTOS....TO ASK TEH ADVICE OF ALL THESE FIREMEN WE HAVE BEEN TAKING CAKES TO,
THIS STAINLESS LINER--- ONE I HAVE ON ALL THE WOOD STOVES AS THEY GO THRU THE WOOD ROOFS IN MANY BUILDINGS HERE... COST ABOUT $100 FOR 3 FEET.
IN THE MEANTIME THANKS TO SAM KEISS----WE HAVE A LOVELY BIG PIECE OF CARDBOARD FLAT ACROSS TEH FIREPLACE SO WE AT LEAST ARE NOT LOSING ANY HEAT..

OUR SPAYED PUP.. HAD TO BE REOPENED FOR RE STITCHING... IT HAPPENS-- SHE IS STILL A LLITTLE GROGGY. ----AND ON TEH HOUSE CAMERA
---
THE EXCITEMENTYOF TEH DAY WAS STITCH GOT HIS HEAD AND FRONT LEG STUCK IN THE LITTLE PUPPY FEEDER-- TEH FEEDER WHICH HOLDS TEH 6 INCH BOWLS... TURNS OUT STITCH'S HEAD-- THE HARD PART IS MAYBE 5.5 INCHES IN DIAMETER, BUT ONCE YOU GET ALL THAT EXSTRA NECK SKIN THRU TH EHOLE AND TRY TO PULL BACK, ALL THAT LOOSE SKIN ADDS ANOTHER INCH TO THAT 5.5 INCH HEAD... SO TEH 6.5 INCHES DID NOT COME BACK THRU THE 6 INCH HOLD WITHOUT CONSIDERQABLE HELP
IF HE IS LAME TODAY, I KNOW WHY. HE HAD ONE LEG IN A VERY AWKARD SECOND DISH HOLE.
---
AS I RUSHED TO THIS PROBLEM I WAS THINKING..WHERE IS MY SILK SKARF !!! BUT WE-- PAM AND I --- GOT IT OUT WITHOUT NEED ING IT.
I HAD THAT IDEA FROM HEARING STORIES OF WEDDING RINGS STUCK ON SWOLLEN FINGERS IN TEH EMERGENCY ROOMS--- I AM TOLD--- WINDING DENTAL FLOSS WILL COMPRESS THE FLESH AND ALLOW-- REMOVQAL.
ONE OTHER ER PROCEEDURE I HAD USED ON ME TO SAVE A TRIP TO THE ER.....MIGHT SOMEDAY BE USEFUL TO KNOW... AN UNBENT PAPERCLIP... HEATED TO RED HOT IN A CANDLE WILL PAINLESSLY BURN A TINY HOLE IN A FINGERNAIL AND RELIEVE THE PRESSURE OF BLOOD AFTER YOU HIT YOUR FINGER WITH A HAMMER... OR WHATEVER.
