Original brick & clay flue liner chimney dating from 1977. Chimney runs straight up through the center of the house from the basement fireplace. Approx 25ft total length/height. Probably had several chimney fires and/or too hot of fires. The clay flue is cracked and smoke in the past has seeped through the brick and mortar. Then out and through seems in the drywall. One roof truss in the attic which runs tight to the chimney brick mortar gap is blackened, scorched and feels "dry". Going to cut the damaged section of truss away. Offset the section away from the chimney and replace with a piece to support the sheeting. The original firebox/heat exchanger had been torched out 20+yrs ago.A high efficiency air tight fireplace fan forced heat exchanger had been installed. Along with a flexable stainless liner. 2011, the stainless liner in the chimney has recently developed pin holes. In the first 2-3 ft from the fireplace. For the moment I pulled the liner and turned it end for end to put the pin holes at the top of the chimney. What to do? There is 304 flexible stainless liner and rigid 304 single wall stainless liner. Can't seem to find double wall liner for use inside the old clay flue? There is however insulation blankets listed to wrap the flex or rigid single wall liner. I haven't lit the fireplace yet this year and won't until the chimney is repaired. Unless an emergency to heat the house if the power is lost. Outside stack really isn't an option as the existing brick chimney rests on top of a massive 8ft wide, 3ft deep, ceiling height brick mantle. Knowing the 1st owner/builder's methods. The fireplace mantle is probably holding up the main floor and walls above it.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
