Labor Day is in the past marking the end of summer but we are a long way from using the furnace or fireplace. So right now, is great time to get a chimney inspection and cleaning. Today we welcome back Sed Bledsoe from Fireplace Chimney Sweep Solutions to tell us the advantages of cleaning your chimney this time of year.  And as always, we are looking to help you with whatever project you are working on. Join the conversation! Send your home improvement questions or comments to: fixit101@mpbonline.org.

TOPIC(S) DISCUSSED: It's an open-topic show this week so any chances of staying on a certain subject are out the window, BUT we do open the show with a mystery that Pam needs help with and some things that irritate Jeff. Other topics include Bondo and cleaning plumbing spaces (which Lacey particularly did not enjoy.)
