    For sure, right here is a good worker. Thanks Pete. :) Pete installing chimney brace.JPG
    Last December we bought a 3' extension for our chimney and Pete agreed to put it up for us. For some reason, my wife really frowns on me climbing up on roofs after I started getting vertigo and have already had some bad falls. So we had a sunny but chilly day and Pete put up that extension and the bracing and also did some needed caulking around some vents. It took a little longer than we thought because of what he found when he got up there but it all got done. So now if this snow ever melts, he and I plan on doing some wood cutting and won't have any problems filling his truck a few times. ;):axe:

    Way to go PP! Ole Dennis is worth it. I wish many times I was closer so I could help him, and he could help me, since we are both old. :)

    Pete looks pretty comfy up there.
    Is he your adopted son?
    Dennis is that you on the ladder taking the picture?
