We spent new years day getting some work done. We  brushed out the soot in the flues before we remove them to minimize the mess. Under normal circumstances with a restoration of this type the firebox, flues and smoke box in that order would have been washed out with a fire hose. Alas, we have no door or a track thru the door to move the loco outside and no water. For the moment we utilize what we have. It warmed up to 30 degrees today.
