Thanks!

Homeowners, not professionals so there was no job to be thrown off of. Used what we had on hand and had fun in the process.

Sorry if this sounds rude, I don’t intend it to. Who cares about doing all that red-tape bull. Why do we buy houses, constantly looking at them like something we are going to need to be ready to put on the market the next day. It’s a place that we spent an ungodly amount of money on to call our own. If I lived out in the woods, away from nosey people and prying eyes, I’d never worry about permitting this or permitting that. Do I need to sell the house? Sell it as-is. Plenty of people have the cash on-hand for that.

@@aLatios I agree, if your house burns down in fire caused by a Solid Fuel burning device that was not permitted your insurance wont cover it and your mortgage company will own you the rest of your life.

@@aLatios "Who cares about doing all that red-tape bull"? LOL. Only people that don't want to burn their house down because they didn't install it correctly & who still want their home owner's insurance to cover the claim after it burns down.

@@thegreatwhite75 yeah I get it. But honestly when I’m faced with permitting fees, permitting approval times, the possibility of doing things wrong or getting denied…… like bro I’m just gonna install my stuff and get on with life I’m sorry 😅

@@aLatios Nope, it's your life, your house, etc, so I can't (& won't) "tell you what to do" but as a professional chimney sweep with over 37yrs experience (and working with my father who started the business 44yrs ago next month) I can tell you we've aquired quiiiiite a bit of Training, knowledge, & experience in the field, and we've seen some craaaazy things! And saved quite a few houses from burning down as well as seen quite a few houses actually BURN down because the people didn't heed our warnings about different safety issues & concerns. As far as relining a chimney goes....there's WAY WAY more involved then people have a clue about! And fire & carbon monoxide is nothing to be played with! One thing I will tell you is that you're most likely going to have a glaze buildup problem. Glaze is rock hard creosote that cannot be brushed out using conventional methods. I say this because you've got a Hearthstone stove (which are known to be real creosote makers) and it's venting into an UNINSULATED liner. Without getting too much into it.....liners for wood burning appliances are SUPPOSED to be insulated to help prevent this (among other things) So your only chance of HOPEFULLY not building up glaze is to make sure your wood is ready to burn! I'll paste a copy of a PSA in here that I wrote up for some of my local fb groups a while back that will give you a little insight. And PLEASE feel free to pass it on to anyone else you know that burns wood, because it can save them from a whole lot of misery as well!

Yes

It will be an issue without a liner? The video is literally installing a liner. Do you mean insulation around the liner?

For $1500 extra? Please

@@aLatios No, for the money it will save you in the long-run by having it done once & done correctly! I've had to pull 2 liners out of chimneys just this week & redo everything that was done because they were not installed properly! Ended up costing the homeowners MUCH more than it would have had they just hired professionals & had it done right the first time!

You should of backfilled. Guarantee you to clamp at the top breaks holding all that weight

I gotta admit, I was surprised to see no insulation wrap or backfill.. this seems like a bad idea, even to a complete novice such as myself 🤔

@@thegreatwhite75just sticking a liner down a chimney doesn’t need a “professional” that going to do the same thing
