As horrible as what you're going through is, at least it's going to be taken care of.

I think that's why I'm not too worried. It's an upheaval and a massive expense we could do without, and it's annoying as hell because the liner should have been good for 15 years or so, I think we were told, but at least we can get it fixed before the weather gets too cold.Hopefully a better job will be done this time and it'll be a different kind of liner that shouldn't be able to collapse. Keep your fingers crossed!

Thank you!

Chimney cleaning can be a real nightmare good luck.

Thank you, we'll need it. It'll be a massive job!

Sounds terrifying! Anything involving fire or ashes from fire, or could be fire maybe, scares me to death. Glad he's going to fix it - better safe than having a problem when a fire is going.

Well, there's no way the fire could be lit at the moment, must never light a fire until the chimney's swept and his brush is still jammed up the flue anyway, so there was never any chance we'd light it before the chimney was fixed. We just really could have done without this. I'm just hoping a better job is done this time, because something has gone badly wrong!

Fire both terrifies and fascinates me. I have to keep ours going for two thirds of the year, cleaning it out twice a day, so I have a VERY healthy respect for it and I'm extremely careful.

Thank you!

Oh no! That sucks! I hope your chimney will get fixed soon! :(

Sunday, it should be. It's a pain, but it's got to be done!

Thank you!

Ah, my best wishes! Here, have a hug! *squishes*

(at least it's not worse. it could always be worse. you didn't have any chimney fires, at least! *knocks on wood*)

It could indeed be worse. I've lived with worse. But it's an expense we could have done without, those liners are supposed to last a lot longer than 4 years. And having a big hole knocked in the wall again is going to mean more mess... *sigh*

*squishes back* Thank you.
