There was a draught coming down "Front" room chimney and Mrs Northsider asked number one son to put the stove back on the stone pedestal (I put my wife on a pedestal when I met her) he recently made.
He asked me to do my limbo act (on my back inside the chimney) and chisel out in the solid mortar in the chimney for the flu attachment to fit. Here I was chiselling away with my mobile phone light shining upwards from behind my head.
I cursed and swore and called it one of them there and it would have made a saint say: "flip off". Not forgetting the dust and cement mortar in my hair and eyes. I thought manual labour was the name of a Spanish builder!😊
Then number one son with all the strength of an ox lifted the stove into place and attached the flu after some more chiselling on his part. My chiselling wasn't central enough.
Then we lit the stove and the swearing and dust was worth it! I think.
Back in place. I'm off splitting some logs for both the stoves. They use coal too. At least we don't have heating bills.
I believe that ducks have eating bills.

Did you get the chimney swept too?
ReplyDeleteI do that myself JayCee along with ridding the pipes to the septic tank. I'm a Jack of all trades and master of none😀.
ReplyDeleteIt was rough here last night and parts of Bantry town and Cork city were flooded.
It's heading our way now!
DeleteOh dear. It was a rough old night.
DeleteThis takes me back to when we had open fires in the winter. We didn't get a very good draw and I used to hold a large newspaper in front of the fire to aid the 'draw'
ReplyDeleteMany's the time that the whole newspaper went off up the chimney because it had caught fire. lol
Looking back, it was a wonder we didn't have chimney fires.
Then of course there was the time when Tom decided to clean the chimney with some brushes borrowed from a friend. The brush came off the end of the pole and got stuck up the chimney. He spent most of the day with a bent fork on the end of the pole trying to get it down, lol
We used a proper sweep after that.
Briony

Sounds familiar Briony.
DeleteWhen we first moved in here we forgot that the previous owner had stuffed a roll of foam rubber up the chimney to keep out the draught. You can imagine what happened when we lit our first fire x
Flipping heck!
DeleteGreat chimney sweeping and fire tales Briony. I was once summoned to catch a bat (not the Cricket variety) that had flown down the chimney. "Get it out" was my order. I managed to catch it and released it safely outdoors. I am also the rodent undertaker when Domino leaves us presents. Rosie the Golden Retriever picked up one of his dead rats recently and attempted to bring "our" present indoors.
ReplyDeleteIt must be quite handy having sons!
ReplyDeleteIt is but there always power struggles and some choice language thrown in.
ReplyDeleteI put on a long sleeve top today but we're not thinking about fires yet thank goodness. Sons, or grandsons, or sons in law are supposed to do the dirty work. You're too fit and healthy!! A sore back comes in handy sometimes.
ReplyDeleteWe learnt all about your lockdown on our news today. Hey ho, here we go again
Hi Linda. I noticed big piles of orange branches when we went to the Algarve in 1919/2019. It seems a very long time a go.
ReplyDeleteThe lockdown is crazy here in Ireland. They can fine you for going more than five Kilometres but it's ok for the schools to be open.
Next house we will have a stove with an oven in it. To think of all the times we have had fires and we could of cooked a stew or some bread. It never occurred to me till a few years ago when I saw a South African blogger who used one through winter. Now it is an aim to be more efficient.
ReplyDeleteWhat about a bastible pot over a fire Sol? Are you thinking of moving again? I would like to move to a warmer climate. Especially over winter.
ReplyDeleteIn my head I am always moving Dave. The cold is getting to me as well

ReplyDeleteI had my first outbreaks and was tested back in 2015 for both HSV-1 and HSV-2. Both my husband and I tested positive for HSV-1 but negative for HSV-2. Last year I found out my husband was cheating, so I decided to do a retest on all STDS including HSV-1 and HSV-2. Only difference is that this time I went to a different clinic. Anyway, I tested positive for HSV-1 which I knew I had but surprisingly HSV-2 as well. I was so upset and got divorced with my husband. 4 months ago a friend recommended me to an African herbalist , Dr. Kham , I explained my problems to him and he encouraged me that I will be cured. Then I ordered for his herbal protocol and used it according to his directions. I'm so relieved to say that I've not had even one outbreak and was tested negative by my doctor. I'm feeling great from within. I truly endorse this product, it really works.

ReplyDeleteThanks to Doctor Razor for the Great miraculous work he did in my life with his herbal remedy. I have been living with this virus and I have shared with my partners my situation because they deserve to have a choice of whether they want to change being with me or not. I unfortunately did not have a choice in this matter leaving me vulnerable and now faced with this virus for the rest of my life or until a cure was discovered.I refused to take the Medical drugs my PCD have told me to take, I surrendered to my fate, because I was careless. Late on at night, Feb 13 2017, I came across Doctor Razor herbal medicine. I browsed about the authenticity of This Doctor, I got to see several Testimonies regarding his works from people he had helped with his medicine. i reached out to him and told him my problems, after we spoke he promised to help me out. I started using his herbal medicine which he sent to me Via the Courier Delivery, and asked me to take the herbal medicine for 18 days. which i did. I am delighted to let you all know that I Got cured of Herpes Virus, after the Medical Doctor had confirmed this with the test results, when I went for a medical check up after completing the Herbal Dosage Of 18 days.

ReplyDeleteHerpes can be treated and cured permanently but only few believe it. I was diagnosed of HSV few years ago, my doctor told me there is no permanent cure for the disease, i was given antiviral medication to reduce the outbreak of the virus, at the initial stage it was not so bad till it progressed to the end middle stage were i had difficulties going about my daily functions I was totally devastated till I saw a comment about Dr. festus , who have used herbal medicines to cure virus like HERPES, HPV, ALS, when I contacted Dr. festus via email, after a few discussion, he prepared the medicine and ship it to me, when I received the herbal medicine, I took it according to his instructions, few weeks later I went to the hospital to have a blood test and the test came back negative, i was cured and free from this Virus... That is why I am sharing my testimony so that people can also contact him for help, via his email: drfestusherbalsolutioncentre@gmail.com or
