Week end has Come and GONE.....  We spent the day just working around the place.  Ron took the time to Clean out our Chimney.  Its been a while,  BUT  didn't clean out the chimney box.  It's behind our stove.  While talking to Bob,  Ron was looking outside and saw a reflection......  Flames.....  We had a Chimney fire.  SO  It was exciting for awhile.  Ron got back up on the roof to pour water down the Chimney..  After closing down the Stove.  SO we had to left our fire go out....  This evening he pulled the stove out to clean out the box...  We had about half a bucket full of STUFF.....What a mess,  but we are back to a Warm house....   Y E S

I'm just glad we didn't have to call the Fire department out.... or that our Neighbor's had CallED....
