The stainless steel liner for the fireplace waiting to be installed
The rest of the very long piece of liner!
The chimney guys have been busy at work here! Yesterday they managed to install the liner for the boiler and hot water heater. They left mid-afternoon yesterday to head back to the shop to get everything ready for today. They were back this morning with the fireplace liner. It is rainy here today but that doesn’t seem to have slowed them down. The lining is now in the fireplace (the picture is from this morning). If all goes well the chimney pots will go up tomorrow.
Update: The guys are done here for the day. They have put in a good portion of the insulation (a special perlite, concrete mix). The specialty product hardens to keep the stainless steel liners in place while preventing any chance of a fire or spark from coming through the flues. They are installing this all the way up the chimney. I think they have a whole pallet load of this stuff and one guy mixing on the ground while the other two go up on the lift, carefully pour it down the 3 flues and then come back down on the lift.
If all goes well the chimney caps will go up tomorrow. They have some more structural work to do at the top in the morning to get ready for the caps.
The guys installing the insulation in each of the 3 flues.
The guys coming back down for another load of insulation.
