Thank you!

Speaking of chimneys… we happen to discover something kind of scary. We had two fireplaces. One of them had gas logs and we used it all the time. The other one we were just burned Wood in, but I could never get it to vent properly so I only tried it a handful of times.

Turns out the flu was completely disconnected about halfway up the second story of our house. If I had managed to burn fires in that thing, I would've just been pumping carbon monoxide into the second floor. We never would've known had the chimney faade not burned up.

Yikes!

Yea, this is another reason my spouse and I are thinking of replacing our wood-burning fireplace with one of those digital display insets that emits heat. Never thought I'd say that, but after seeing what my parents went through, I'll take a corny display for the peace of mind
