    This is pretty rare but a bad thing for sure! Perhaps it will be a fairly easy fix or worse case hire a pro to get this sorted out.. Can't imagine this situation! Wish I lived nearby I'd be there to help you..

    Now Raybonz, no climbing until you've been off the suds for 24 hours. At least!

    I am so sorry to hear your chimney went down. Scary, but you handled it well. Lessons alway being learned. Mother Nature is always keeping us on our toes. You are good about handling the situation. I am dependent on my adult kids and the grandchildren. Thankfully, they all live within a few miles.
    Hope you get through the rest of the winter unscathed.
