what about a chimney cleaning day??!!

i need help yanking my insert out and and i'll buy the brushs / rope and we can do them both (yours and mine) some weekend day??

 

Lol. Last time I helped my dad clean his chimney out the brush got stuck in there. To this day it still hasn't fallen down...

 

Oh... I'm SO about this. I've been putting buying a kit off for a while now. I wonder if the produce barn carries this, I bet they do. Do you have a round chimney or a square one? Name the weekend day and I'll be there.

 

mine is square and I think 12 inches but all we need to do is buy the brushes (yours and mine) and some rope

tie it off on both ends and one guy pulls down and then the other guy pulls up

 

Rope eh? My dad has some fiberglass rod. Although this is the same thing that snapped and left the brush in the chimney....

 

Yup.. rope wont snap off (and it's a lot less expensive than the rods) and if one end comes untied you can still remove the brush

 

Good call Steve

 

ok Erick - just let me know when you're ready to do yours as i did mine this past Sunday

easy as pie (well except for yank'n the insert and then putting it all back together)

but I did buy an 8 inch brush and rather than buy the stupid rods for $30.00 used a 10 foot piece of EMT (plastic electrical pipe) with a few couplings & rope . total cost was only 1.27

you could eat off my flue pipe

 

Ah, the joys of home ownership... making plans for the weekend to clean chimneys

 

Where did you get the brush. Home Depot?
