Just realized I've cleaned exactly 1,000 chimneys in my 8 years doing this. That's a lot of soot.

A thousand chimneys means you've seen enough soot to make a hundred snowmen, but the creepy, flammable kind. Your lungs must have their own little black raincloud by now. That's a whole lot of people who didn't burn their houses down because of you. Congrats on the grimy milestone.

1,000 chimneys" is a wild number. I read an article once about how soot buildup is a huge fire hazard, so that's a ton of risk you've cleared out for people. Pretty solid milestone.

You know, I used to think it was just a dirty job. But after seeing how much soot can build up, I get why it matters.
