[QUOTE="shooterdave, post: 1459248, member: 3128"] Well, after reading all if the replies, I realize, once again, just how special of a group everyone here at OSA is. I truly appreciate all of the support and words of encouragement and prayer. We are all doing well and the insurance guys are going to be here Friday if the weather clears a bit. Looking back on the whole situation, I kinda feel a bit stupid for not having a couple of chem sticks handy for a flue fire. It might have lessened the damage. Mostly, though. I think back to when we built the house and remember getting talked into using triple wall flue pipe instead of tile and mortar construction. The installation was performed by a certified technician for the product, but something went wrong. The unit itself is a high-end isokern formed fireplace that is brick and mortar installed from the factory techs. As best I can tell, it is in good shape. Just the piping is screwed. I guess we will see what the experts say about that. As for the fireplace... Just a day later and I sure miss the warmth and soothing quality of a fire burning... I guess I have a lot of decisions to make in a pretty short amount of time as to what to do about that. Thanks guys, for everything. I could tell by the responses that there was genuine concern and care in them. I really appreciate those who said they took the time to look at their smoke detectors and extinguishers. The though that someone else may benefit or be spared some tragedy because of it is really heartwarming. Now... If it will just warm the hell up so we can do some shootin'!!! [/QUOTE]
