  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Yesterday I had a chimney sweep come by to clean out my chimney. I burn oil and I got this card at a home show for a $15 Cleaning, so I figured why not. The guy goes up there and barely touches the cage that keeps out animals, and a section of the chimney about 4 feet long falls off!!! I thought it might need repointing, but I didn't think it was THAT bad. So a new fleu and rebricking of the chimney was a $2400 cost I wasn't anticipating.

Here's the part that really sucks. My DirecTV dish was mounted to the chimney, and now it doesn't work. How the $*%& am I going to watch the Sopranos tonight!!!!!!:hanghead: :hanghead: :hanghead: :hanghead: :hanghead: :hanghead:
