Chimney replacement done incorrectly could burn down your house

Anyone who had a chimney damaged in the earthquakes need to check their chimneys have been safely replaced after any damage before they light their fires.

I have moved past the survival mode, but sometimes I wonder if the “flight not fight” decisions I have been making have been the right ones.

Since I returned to Christchurch after my latest escape, I’ve had many friends, f ...
