Ok... The forum did me a solid recommendation for a painter !
Now we're at the next step. Just realized that the Condo Assoc is not responsible for the fireplaces and thus before I even consider lighting a match we want to get our chimney cleaned.
I have already lived through one chimney fire at our MA home and don't care to repeat the experience
Need a reputable Chimney Sweep Co that services in the Gilford area. Hopefully someone we can get to do it this week while we are up here ( I know that's asking a lot).
