Schneewagen Delivers. Chimney Repaired.

If you've been following the story line, you'll recall the Olaf struck a blow to our chimney a couple weeks ago. The repair crew was scheduled to come up last Wednesday, but US 2 was closed for 5 days due to massive snow dowing trees and powerlines. This morning, a week later, was the reschedule.

Katie met the fireplace-chimney crew at the Yodelin parking lot this morning and hauled them and their gear in to KnArrow Haus -- in three separate trips.

I wonder what OSHA says about 2 crew members
on a ladder in 6 feet of snow....?

 Hopefully, that's the last we'll need to worry about the chimney for many years.
