Cue Dick Van Dyke.
Today we had the chimney sweep over. Seriously. He's a nice young guy with an amazing ability to get filthy when he's working yet not get your house dirty when he walks through. I tried to watch but I'm not sure how he does it.
Today he wasn't sweeping the chimney, though. Today he was installing a chimney cap that keeps out rain, birds, rodents, and whatnot. It also prevents sparks from escaping, so it's generally reckoned a good thing.
Apart from his ability to keep clean, he's also part mountain goat. He has no problem scrambling out on our third-story roof with a 12/12 pitch (i.e., 45 degree angle). He just prefers not to do it on rainy days. Which I can understand.
