The sun out here is witheringly intense though. It can be 40 degrees out and sunny, but you feel like an ant under a magnifying glass. You need...
Sounds like a lot of you need to spend less time scrounging for wood and more time working on the insulation and air sealing of your homes...
Greed is as American as cherry pie. Why am I not surprised in the slightest.
You're making some great progress. Improving accessibility is an extremely wise place to invest in home improvement. There are a lot of older...

Cap screen is clean, as it's easy to visually inspect from the ground. Some blackening, but no real buildup. I have had a clogged chimney cap in...
