What Woods Should I Use in my Fireplace?
After you have had your chimney inspected, and necessary repairs made if needed, it is time to pick the right kind of fuel for your fires. A lot of our customers ask us what kind of wood is best for burning, and honestly it is less about what kind of wood, but more so the condition it is in.
Signs You May Need a Chimney Inspection
The fireplace is often the go to sport for family gatherings and a great place to cuddle up on the coldest of winter nights. While the fireplace is for many, a wonderful addition to the home, it can also become a source of danger to the home and family if not properly maintained.

Even with routine ash cleaning your fireplace can be at risk due to cresote, the unburned energy that builds up on the inner surfaces of your chimney. More

How to Re-cord a Sash Window
Over time the cords from your sash windows will wear down and eventually break.Even if only one of your cords breaks, both should be replaced. Waxed sash cording can normally be found in stores in standard hanks, however some more specific suppliers may sell it by the meter. Each sash will require 2 lengths of cording, of about 3/4 the height of your window.
How to Install Asphalt Shingles
Prior to the attachment of any shingles, you should verify that proper roof edging and underlayment are in place. These two elements are essential for a waterproof roof. With this verified, and a permit obtained, you can begin installing asphalt shingles.
Heavy rain or snow can jam water under the shingles on your roof. To protect your roof from the elements, I would suggest applying a self-adhesive layer of waterproofing. This adhesive should stick tightly with the bare sheathing and seals around the nails that you drive through. Some regions have building codes which requires 3-6 feet of adhesive to come up from the eave. Check the area’s coding laws to make sure you are within requirements.
