Happy New Year! What a whirlwind it has been! I got out on a First Hike New Years day at DeVeaux State Park in Niagara Falls. Cold but nice to be outdoors.
So I have a note to myself to Live like I AM in a cabin in the woods. That is of course a dream but I don't plan on selling and moving, so I need to live like I already am. Part of that was fixing my wood burning fireplace to be able to have fires again. I did get a free estimate 5 years ago when I moved in. The guy gave me some mumbo jumbo and 3000$ estimate. So I was prepared when I got my chimney inspection Jan 2, The inspection was 210$ and well worth it. Plus it is needed for home insurance.
I was waiting for the final determination. Guy was very nice. He said:
"ok, you are all set" um yeah, I was told I needed a skin/liner..... "It's already there"
"So I can have a fire?", "Yep"
Once I got my jaw off the ground, and let go of the 5 years I wasted on mumbo jumbo guy that was probly going to scam me. I called and got a cord of wood delivered next day!!! Yes. Got 2/3 in the garage and I will finish the rest today.
So on my birthday, it was Saturday, I started a nice fire and it went on until I went to bed probly around 9ish. It was absolutely the most wonderful day for me. I now can live like I am in a cabin in the woods. It just makes my heart sing. The fireplace is just for weekend asthetics. Not for heat or any thing else. It is for my pleasure. Yes it is warm but it doesn't really heat the house. I think I need to get an insert for that. I may look into them but right now I am in heaven!!!
