Who in their right mind would put an umbrella up a chimney. The right answer is a chimney sweepers brush?

Again a chimney sweepers brush is the righjt answer
There is not a test for being "in your right mind" that you need to pass to buy an umbrella. That means anyone who wants to could put an umbrella in a chimney. Maybe they were doing an imitation of Mary Poppins and it slipped.
Chimney Cleaning brush stuck in the chimney?
Apr 29, 2009 by ijcoffin
When cleaning my chimney the brush rod disconnected about 18 or 20 feet down.
Any suggestions as to how I can get it out.
I don't think I can get it out the bottom.
All help will be appreciated.
The best way to get the brush out will be to take a pair of regular pliers (the kind you use to tighten and loosen things) and wire them tightly to the end of the rods you were using with the brush. Wire them with the jaws facing down and the handles pointing to the top of the chimney (only wire one handle, the other is free to open and close). Make sure they are wired on tight enough that they will not slip off over the end of the rod. You may even want to duct tape them on after you wire them on so they can not slip off. Go to the top of the chimney and push the pliers down past the brush. The handles will close as they pass the brush and then fall open again. Now pull the rods back up through the brush and they should hook the brush and pull it back up. This may take a few attempts but it is the easiest way to get the brush out with out calling a professional chimney sweep that owns some brush removal hooks. Good Luck!
