When we moved into our house, out fireplace was labeled "non-functioning". Turned out all it needed was a chimney cap (the hole was covered with a lead sheet) and to be re-tuckpointed. Well, as anyone with a brick home knows, tuckpointing can be crazy expensive. Lucky for me, the Mr. can do anything.

He located a cap to fit our chimney top and he tuckpointed the firebox. Ta-Da!
