The Fool posted:what kind of bullshit fancy house do you have that you can have a whole extra chimney you don’t use House was originally heated solely by fireplaces and had gas lamps for light. At some point electric was run so they got rid of the gas lamps but the pipes are still around, and HVAC ducting was run so they capped the fireplaces. The chimneys are still there because it's literally impossible to get a chimney torn down if it isn't a hazard. I asked the roofers who did my house about tearing down and roofing over the one completely unused chimney and he told me that it was a massive insurance liability and he wouldn't touch it, period, since the section of the chimney above the roofline represented like ten tons worth of bricks.

One of the walls in my wood shop in the basement is part brick work for the fireplace and flue and there are little metal grates at the bottom, not too long ago I opened one up and a shitload of soot poured out everywhere. I'm not really sure what I expected to happen.

That's my bathroom, there's a metal grate in the wall that's plumbed into the chimney flue and that flue is bricked up above the grate. My office actually has the same sort of grate in the wall but it goes to regular ducting.

I'll post a picture of my basement workshop again once I take a new one, I've posted pictures previously and multiple people who post in this thread have been in my basement and it's like a bizarro murder dungeon.

I'm going to take the train up there this summer when the Rangers visit and enjoy some non-real baseball in person, make a weekend of it. Train ride's 3.5 hours but it goes through some gorgeous scenery.

American flags make me nervous. Anyways, working fireplaces are the shizz. Sitting next to a fire, sipping cocoa, thats the life. Our midcentury modern only has central heating, I have to go outside to light a fire like a simp.

Few months ago I made a bigass firewood rack for my backyard and got to choppin’ to fill it up, logs should be dry enough for next winter. Really looking forward to the first cold snap in like October to bust out the first logs and get all hygge

Nah, the basic design principle of masonry fireplaces is that they'll be used, in particular during the rainy months of the year. If you're not keeping them hot, they'll absorb moisture and fall apart in the freeze-thaw cycles. So if your primary source of heat isn't burning wood, you're better off sealing them off completely. At a bare minimum you should put a cap over the flue and regularly paint the entire exterior surface with masonry sealant.

i saw a thing on tv a long time ago that said they’re actually pretty fast in a straight line and that if certain birds of prey can’t grab them via divebomb they’ll usually end up getting away. this is some half remembered popsci show from 20 years ago and I don’t remember what channel this was even on but i can clearly recall two seconds of lovely cgi showing such so i’m sure I’ve got it right.
