You can try bracing it to the house by attaching steel brackets of some sort to the chimney and structure of the house to buy you a year, maybe, but even then i wouldnt want a couple …
Our house was built in 2009 and it has a beautiful fireplace with an insert. We didn't do too many fires last winter (maybe 1) but this year are wanting to use it more.
The past few days, creosote is running down the outside of the pipe that is inside the house, between the ceiling and the stove. The exterior pipe looks fine. Also, this fall we had resealed …
The house is fairly well insulated with good windows. It runs fairy stable around 60 on second floor. I run first floor at around 65. this is with temps in the teens at night and twentees durring …

You can try bracing it to the house by attaching steel brackets of some sort to the chimney and structure of the house to buy you a year, maybe, but even then i wouldnt want a couple 2x4's to hold up thousands of pounds of brick and masonry. Is there just that one flue in the chimney?
Ok first post but I have been a lurker here for the past year and found many of the post very helpful. I bought a house last fall with a Quadrafire Castile. I was having a problem with the siding being stained and soot being pulled into the window next to the Exhaust. In researching the...
The past few days, creosote is running down the outside of the pipe that is inside the house, between the ceiling and the stove. The exterior pipe looks fine. Also, this fall we had resealed around the pipe where it meets the roof. I appreciate your thoughts and suggestions to help us figure out what is going on. Englander 13 - This IS our furnace.
From there the main to the house goes underground to the main house and comes up an exterior wall and actually above the ceiling into the attic space (under insulation but still meh). Kitchen sink and original shower are both exterior walls.
A house from the 60's i would be really Leary of screwing any sort of anchor/screw into the brick chimney. everything is old and brittle. The only way to fix it properly is remove it and rebuild it especially if you can sway it. A good wind and the thing may just topple over and hurt someone as much as you do not want to hear that.
The house is fairly well insulated with good windows. It runs fairy stable around 60 on second floor. I run first floor at around 65. this is with temps in the teens at night and twentees durring the day. I would like tolike it warmer but wood supply and homemade boiler can only do so much.

The house has radiator heat. The boiler kicks on intermittently when the thermostat shows that the house is 4-5 degrees above the set temperature. Is this a design feature of high efficiency boilers since it may take a while to bring the house up to temp with radiators or is there something wrong with the thermostat or boiler control?
Why does my gas boiler run when the house is warmer than the set temp?
I have no basement in my house - sits on a concrete slab. I have tile/hardwood/pergo floors and yes they are cold in the winter. We've got some carpet and rugs covering about 50% of the total area. Do you think I loose a lot of heat to the floor? If so, do you have any suggestions?
