Monday - November 28, 2005 at 11:12 AM inWood heat delayed
The installers showed up for the new fireplace insert today, and discovered that the chimney liner they ordered isn't long enough. Since that's a part which requires some customization (it has to be "ovalized," or squashed into an oval shape), they can't just have a new liner delivered from the warehouse.
Arrgh. That means that the installation will have to be done some other day. I'll have to rearrange my schedule again, and it will be that much longer before we can start using wood heat. The especially frustrating part is that everything seemed to be coming together for today: we got the chimney cleaned ahead of schedule, the weather is warm (good because the patio door will have to be wide open while they move stuff in), and it even stopped raining for a few hours. The rest of the week is supposed to be cold and possibly snowy or icy. The worst case scenario seems to be that I'll have to go back to the end of the line for installations, which means an additional two-week wait. Posted at 11:12 AM | Permalink | | | |
