chimney liners in North Alabama

[andreasgarrett]

Hey, my husband and I have renovated my great grandparents house in Courtland, AL. It was built in 1823 and we are leary of the old morter in the chimney's and want to have them lined. Does anyone have any recommendations on lining methods and most importantly-know anyone in North Ala who does this kind of work? Thanks very much, Andrea Garrett, Courtland, Alabama

... local sweeps or hearth dealers.

Sounds like a rough career move.

Might want to look in to mail ordering the liner & materials and having a contractor or self install if you find a sweep hard to come by.

Hey,weeeelllll the chimney is pretty high up-my husband is very handy but he says there is no such thing as an unreasonable fear of heights-it's quite reasonable. I will try local dealers + someone in town is having their chimney done and I can use them as a guinea pig. However if anyone else has any ideas jump in. Also my husband is an *excellent* scrounger. Our Bham house-bungalow style, currently for sale if anyone is interested, has a great fireplace and if a tree falls beside the road anywhere in the city Bill is there with his chain saw. I think we've bought one cord of wood in 15 years. Andrea
