Hi Ho Blogos - Well today was a nice day...did a little yard work, did the grocery shopping, took some pictures, and had a smoke guard installed on one of our fireplaces.....what is a smoke guard.... it is a security system that protects against smoke from the fireplace - NOT - it is a piece of metal that adjust the height of the fireplace to match the width so that smoke does not escape into the room...................... our fire places are all coal burning fireplaces that are too high for their width...therefore, smoke sometimes escapes into the room rather than going up the flue - in other words, the smoke does not fly up the flue correctly...... While I do not have b4 and after pictures, I do have after pictures and here they are:









Isn't that cute?

Cheers, and remember, take good car of yourself.........................
