Due to lack of interest from the local tradesmen I have this afternoon borrowed a set of rods and a brush and swept my own chimney lol 
And now I'm hooked, there was something therapeutic about shoving that brush into the deep dark hole!
Another smart ass badge attained, but now I really fancy being a chimney sweep |

As a 51 yr old guy I did that for the first time last weekend and hated every dirty sooty minute of it grrrrrr but at least I didnt do what my mate did and as the brush reached the top it pushed the pot of allowing it to fall smashing its way through the roof of the bedroom below sighhhhhhh |

I have a huge open fire place where the original Yorkshire Range used to stand so I found it a doddle of a job with not too much mess, in all honesty I would probably have been stressed and got soot every where had I had to tackle the job via a normal sized fire place |

If you have the windows open, the draft will suck a lot of the soot up the chimney. Having a log burner means I have to do this job twice a year. Annoyingly, there is a bend in my chimney and I have to use a steel bristled brush and have to push the brush right through the pot before I can bring the brush down again. |

For those that watch "Odd Box" news on BBC this morning, it helps if you have a collie dog sitting in your van outside the house who barks when the brush has emerged from the chimney pot!!!! |
