Had a close call with a hidden flue liner in an old farmhouse near Boise

The clay tile had completely collapsed, and my brush dropped straight into the firebox. I only found it because I always use a mirror now. Anyone else run into this with pre-1950s brick chimneys?

What kind of mirror do you use for that?

What are you trying to see with it, anyway?

mark436 asking what someone's trying to see is the whole thing. People are always looking for something, a better angle or a hidden truth. Like checking every review before buying a toaster, or rewinding a show because you're sure you missed a clue. We just don't trust the first look anymore.
