We bought our house 6 years ago. We haven't used the fireplace* since. We had it inspected today. Guess how much it will cost so it's usable

*=The home inspection when we bought the house said, *don't* burn the fireplace until you get it repaired. The chimney sweep we brought in today looked at it and said, "yeah....good thing you never burned this.....very likely the chimney would have caught on fire"
