Having a bad day

[sandy2210]

Having a real bad day wheel bearing went on the car this morning, then went to sweep the chimney the brush got stuck 2/3 way up after a bit of yanking the end of one of the rods came off, tried a window sash weight from above and it would not budge I think there may be one rod still on the brush and its digging into the liner then tried the rods up on their own got it through the brush and put the rubber drain clearing thingy on the end but it still wont budge to cap it all the top of the liner is moving (SPLIT) and the rubber bit is jamed in the join. to dark to do any more today any suggestions what to try next

Put your feet up and have a beer. You've missed "Take Me Out" though.

Quoting the bleeding obvious , but always twist the rods clockwise as you push them up the chimney.

Bamboo sticks, duct tape, litter picker and string to activate the picker ???? and a knife to cut your tape when you get it back down

the rod did not unscrew it broke or rather the nylon bit came out of the metal bit

also tried rods up backwards with plunger attached and not able to move it up either

good idea but a bit cold without the fire on

So light the fire and the combustible bits will burn off and the metal bits will fall down.

Failing that, move house and keep shtum.

its about 4 meters up think i would smoke the house out before the brush caught alight

uber hot fire, vent living room, touch up alcoves with white paint to cover soot and job done

Go on roof drop rope down to fire, tie something like a cushion that fits tight in the hole and pull up.

I have done before but with a big sponge and a disc of wood at the bottom.
