A retired sweep in Asheville said something I still think about

He watched me work on a 1920s flue for an hour, then just said 'You're cleaning the smoke, not the history.' Anyone else get a piece of advice that stuck like that?

That "cleaning the smoke, not the history" thing is everywhere. We fix the surface problem but ignore the real story underneath.

Yeah benk26, it's like putting a band-aid on a broken leg.
