Child Snatching Attempt Thwarted by Fireplace Poker-Wielding Youth
May 19, 2012 | Two people who attempted to take a child from a family member’s home in St. Charles Friday were charged Saturday as
accessories to a burglary. David Senter of St. Charles Police said that other charges could be pending on the two, including assault and property damage. A juvenile who attacked one intruder with a

Fireplace??????????
Dec 04, 2007 by gurlndixie
My house has a fireplace which is approximately 13 years old. (the house is 13 years old). Anyway, when I build a fire in the fireplace there is smoke in the house. What could be wrong with it? Could it be clogged up or something. It is a Marco Fireplace. Thanks
How do I know if my chimney is clogged? And what do I do about it if it is? thanks
Are you positive the flue is completely open? Get a flashlight and look up the chimney. There is a gate called a flue that can be closed when not using the fireplace. Other than that, it could be carbon or soot deposit slowing the flow, or even nests or dead animals clogging it up higher.
How to install a glass fireplace door?
Feb 01, 2008 by clearview
Currently we have a manufacture fireplace. On the front of the fireplace it has a metal net screen that you pull from both sides to close it. This screen is attached by little round links to a metal bar that runs across the top outside opening of the fireplace. We want to install a glass fireplace door - 1st - how does one remove that bar? 2nd - how do you get the correct measurements for the new glass fireplace door? 3rd - how do you install the fireplace door? Your help is much appreciated.
I had a similar set up but instead of a door, there was a solid piece of glass between the screen (as youd described) and the glass. Ours was a Heatilator and on their units, you could read the model number behind the access panel on the bottom of the unit. Based on that model number, they had a
2 panel door that I ordered. It came with detailed instructions on installing it.
Depending on your unit, you might have the same vendor, if not maybe you can get the model number and then search for the door.
