    Chimney Spraying

    Thank you slownsteady. Do you re-spray it every few years? Thanks Nealtw, Bud16415, and joecaption! They built us a lovely chimney and I should trust their judgment but when you start reading about things on the Internet, it can get very confusing.

    Chimney Spraying

    No issues. But now looking on the internet I see it's like most things, there's different opinions and I'm trying to figure out if I should have it done again next time or skip it. Most people don't have their chimneys sprayed, I would think.

    Water Line Replacement

    So we have had 3 plumbers come out and give estimates. One wants to use copper, 2 want to use pex. So now the choice. Several people have suggested HDPE, but that has not been offered. But you know, we have moles in our yard from time to time and I have read that varmints chew through pex...

    Grounding with Water Line Replacement

    We need to have a new water line put in from the meter in the parking strip to the house. We've recently had a new electrical panel put in and the electricians pounded two grounding rods into the ground outside our house. Because of this, will the house be just as well grounded if we get plastic...

    Water Line Replacement

    If we were to have a plastic pipe put in, how would the house be grounded?

    Water Line Replacement
