19 October, 2018 | 0

Have you noticed a few twigs and bits falling down into your fireplace? If yes, the chances are you’ve got a bird nest up there.  It might be vacant (probably at this time of year), but you need to have it removed before lighting a fire, as any blockage like a nest could cause smokeRead more
