Been here over 2 years, finally decided to have fireplace & chimney checked in case we needed to use it this winter. Called in Myke. Glad i did! He pointed out that the fireplace had been much used, w/o much maintenance. He hauled out MUCH creosote, soot, etc, pointed out what needs to be repaired, and assured me that it could be used when needed. Will be calling him back, come spring. And thanks for showing me how to open the damper!
