The thing I loved the most about the new lodge I obtained was the fireplace. The thing is, I knew that the chimney had to be cleaned thoroughly. I truly tried cleaning the chimney myself even though I came to realize that I didn’t have the tools or comprehension to take care of it. I started with a metal rake grinding at the creosote buildup in the chimney, but all that dirt plus ash was falling on myself and others plus getting our clothes all nasty. I right away decided to provide up plus I decided to take a shower to get all that filth off of me. I realized I needed a professional to take care of this labor because I didn’t think what I was doing. When I had an regular chimney sweep come out, this girl was truly knowledgeable when it came to maintaining fireplaces. She explained the tools she was using plus how she would clean up afterwards. She said she prefers to start from the top of the chimney plus labor her way down to the flue. This way, all the debris will fall safely down to the fireplace plus she will be able to clean everything out easily. I felt enjoy a total idiot because I was sitting in the fireplace trying to clean it all out from the bottom. She laughed when I told him that plus said some people do it that way, but it’s advised that you wear all the protection needed such as goggles, gloves, plus a specialized apron to protect your clothing underneath. Her way seemed much easier. She even told myself and others about neat tips enjoy how to burn the wood respectfully in the fireplace. My fireplace was clean as a whistle afterwards plus I offered that fireplace expert a fine tip before she left.
