chimney fire
Well, after over 30 years, we had our first chimney fire. I smelled
something different burning outside (twas creosote) looked up and saw
flames gushing out of the top of our wood stove chimney. It looked
cool, like a 20' roman candle but the top was on so there was no
fireworks. Good thing I had enough beers so that the house was safe...
if the old lady was here she would have freaked because she doesn't
drink beer. Seriously, she did freak when she got home and I told her,
but she calmed down when I told her it was under control, and we would
clean the chimney when the weather was warmer. That's enough excitement
for one day...
