Prity woodburner, lining the flue

After a couple of weekends vainly hoping that the 100yr old chimney would still be useable, we finally resorted to fitting a stainless steel liner... Only to discover that the flue was still blocked, so another couple of hours hacking upwards from the cellar & through holes made in the chimney breast, we finally got all the old bricks & bits of birds nest out. Fitting the liner itself wasn't too difficult although a bit hairy feeding it in from the top as so many of the bricks in the top of the stack are loose...
The next step is how to sort the mess that is the chimney stack...
