WOOD STOVE BLUES

Our wood stove in the kitchen (looks similar to this one) is not working. We've had the chimney sweep out twice to clean the chimney but we still are having a problem. We had the wood stove company inspect the stove yesterday and they said it was fine. They said the chimney has to be the problem.

So we had another guy come this morning to look at the chimney and he said our first chimney sweep had done a lousy job.....so now we will have another chimney sweep, recommended by a good friend, come this afternoon. And it is winter in Maine and damn cold outside.

So my day is being spent working on solving this very big problem. Pretty bad when you can't trust your chimney sweep to do his job right the first time!

Luckily we have a second wood stove in our community room here at the Addams-Melman House. It is roaring away just fine.
