And no Bud16415, it didn't really change the look. Thank you all!

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.

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.

Our chimney people have just sprayed Fabrishield 761 over our chimney. Is that a good thing or a bad one?

Very interesting and helpful information. Thank you, bud16415!

They can do that even though it's right up against a concrete walkway?

I would like to get rid of a tree stump that is starting to rot and is just a couple feet from the house, I guess mainly because I'm afraid it will start getting a lot of insects. It is too close to the walkway to have it pulled out. I have a container of Hi-Yield Stump Remover which contains...

We've had a couple not-too-big windows missing out of the back of our old garage for quite a while. Last week a couple came in to the fabric store where I work to buy vinyl to repair the damage raccoons had done to their boat, so I thought it might be a good idea to put something in there, just...

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...

Good. Thanks!

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...

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

Thank you nealtw. Can this be done on a driveway that has a downslope?

So is there some kind of a meter that can detect a water leak? Is there a metal detector or something that can detect metal pipes?

I'm in Seattle, itiswhatitis1. Thank you Shawner! Pictures, too!

We may have to have our water line replaced from the meter to the house. What kind of pipe should it be replaced with? Loretta

Thank you nealtw. I'm going to take a flashlight and see if I can look up underneath the flashing and see what might be up there. Thank you for the link, joecaption. Interesting and informative.

nealtw, What do you mean by the flashing? Do you mean inside the house in the basement? No, there's no bricks in there. This seems to be the way the house was built in 1942. How would it be put in? Loretta

Hello! The young man who tuckpointed a wall of my house ground out this area on top of the window: ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting and he wouldn't fill it back in again because he said something about he thought there should be a piece of metal in there. Does anybody know...
