The screws sound like a good idea. Not so sure off-gassing would be a problem in summer? Or do you think it would still stink by October?
haven't got a pop rivet gun; I was planning on silicone?
The damper wasn't cut to make room as much as to avoid an odd angle; as I recall, every time they tried to screw the liner to the insert thimble,...
Yeah, that was my original plan, to stuff a lot up before the plate got installed. But since I have an outside chimney (on the north side no...
Sort of--it is like fiberglass insulation, only a bit stiffer, and without backing, of course. It comes in a package of 12 batts, 15 1/4 by 47...
Yikes. I got Lyme a few years back; odd thing is, I seemed to have contracted it in the dead of winter. I remember sitting in the chair...
Well, I've got the Roxul (ComfortBatt). I plan on working on this around the end of May or so. My question is now, Is there any way without...
I always enjoy your little videos! My whole property is probably less than your fields.(1/2 acre). I'm really wanting that asparagus right now;...
Had to add this: Was looking at the Home Depot website, and the sheet metal that I wanted said it would be available at my store TODAY. That...
Thought about that last night looking at the tiny pieces in Lowes... Wasn't sure it would be a viable alternative. Heck, might even be a better idea!
I had to go into Westminster yesterday, so I checked Lowe's--they had sheet metal, but the largest pieces were 24x30. Not sure if that will be...
Thanks, T-Stew! Great pictures. I would not have thought about making a "mold" with the particle board. I asked Home Depot when I was there, and...
Panning for gold? Wow, what fun! I had an aunt who used to find semiprecious gems, on the beach in Oregon, then tumble them. They just looked...
Heck no. Still burning, have a miserable cold, and have not yet found anyone who has sheet metal any wider than about 6-8 inches. Maybe this...
Glad to hear you are doing the best you can, DB. A friend's son is going through a similar situation with his wife/exwife of 5 years. There is...
Yeouch. .0859 here. I got rid of oil altogether, and put in a heat pump when electricity became cheaper than oil to heat with. 'Course, I use...
I will say this: My whole life can be laughably considered a day late and a dollar short. When I was dirt poor and wasn't sure where my next meal...
Prayers...done.
Oh gosh, I forgot that will be coming up soon. Here you have a beautiful spring day, you want to open the windows, and...slam 'em back down.
I have also noticed the slight skunky smell of some coffees, yet I drink a pot a day. however, I have no affinity for skunk musk. Makes me gag....
