    Squirrel stuck in chimney

    I don't think the issue is that it's illegal, but that it's harder to find a company that will insure, and for those that will, it's more expensive.

    Squirrel stuck in chimney

    I was barely up there. Just pulling the rope over the ridge was tough on the rope. If I were doing any real work and moving around a lot, I'd want to use something different. Once I was working on a siding job and a guy slid off the metal roof. Neither of us were tied in. It was only one...

    Darned if I didn't get another 'squirrel stuck in a chimney' call. Same gas insert setup. This time the roof was steeper, and it was comp shingles. The second lady even had the same name as the first lady. Decided I'd go check out the Korkers. Turns out the company is right here in...

    Squirrel stuck in chimney

    OK, it's not tree climbing, but climbing was involved. I'm on Dan's list for cat rescues, but every once in awhile I get a call for a raccoon or squirrel stuck in a chimney. The roofers and animal control people had not returned this lady's call in 3 days, so she called the fire dept, and then...
