I applied it full strength--did not dilute it although I have done this on another floor in the past. I think your going to need another gallon or two depending on how big your RMH is.

From coating my outdoor mud stove I found that new layers of mud will stick to old layers of linseed oil very well.
I do layers like this intentionally.
What mud doesn't stick to is powdery stuff like drywall plaster.

I have a chimney cap just like that.
I used to put a screen on the inside, lining the pipe.
But it kept getting clogged.
Now I put the screen in the area around the central pipe but still inside the cap.
Larger surface area keeps it from clogging and the wind hits it so on windy days some of the build-up gets knocked off.
Also keeps birds from nesting there or curious birds from falling down the chimney.

Pics from the inside are next right?

Off topic:
Looks like you have a couple corrizo gold solar panels.
From the very early corrizo solar plant.
They must be 40 or 50 years old now.
Mine quit working about 5 years ago.

Nice, it has the bobbin winder.
Probably the bullet type bobbin right?
Instead of the round one?
I like the round one but have never tried the bullet type.
Which is better?

Throwing some dry wood in next to the green wood can help it burn hot enough to keep creosote down.
The dry wood will burn fast and leave the fire-dried green wood to burn slow.
It will steal heat from your fire at first but does eventually add some heat.

Some people think PEX won't break if it freezes.
But I had some break on top of the ground, and it has broken underground in our town when it froze.

Off topic a bit but I'd run 1/4" PEX next to the line so if it ever did freeze I could hook it up to my car and pump hot antifreeze through it.
It just sucks when the water line freezes. Often have to wait until spring and the ground thaws down to the pipe (mine is at 7 feet) to get water flowing again and to see if it broke.

Snow on the ground will help insulate it. Our pipes freeze under the street, but only if it is covered in a solid layer of ice.

Thanks for the replys.
I'm trying to get on the help forum.
I see the log in to post "button".  I'm already logged in.
I click the log in to post button and it shows me:

If I refuse I can't post in the forum? I refuse to allow this app on my laptop and get this:

Going to try the etsy help center.

Going through their list:
Your funds aren't scheduled to deposit yet: Funds are scheduled for daily deposits
Your fees are greater than your sales:  Not
You don't have a valid credit or debit card on file: Account is verified
You don't have a valid bank account on file: Account is verified
You have recently updated your bank account: Nope did it months ago
Your funds are in a Payment account reserve: Went through these steps:
On Etsy.com, go to Shop Manager.
Go to Finances.
Go to Payment account.
Review the Payment account reserve section (you’ll only see this if you have a reserve): I don't see any payment account reserve, not sure where to look.
You need to verify your bank account: It's was verified months ago
You need to confirm your seller info: Not sure what this means. I've already sold stuff.

Found this: Orders in reserve also have a default holding period, so if no valid tracking is provided, funds will be released after that period.
I haven't sold anything in over a year. I didn't provide tracking to etsy but the person got their toy and hasn't complained

I'm having a hard time getting my money from etsy.
I have over $94 in etsy from light toys I've sold.
I have a verified account and deposit schedule is daily but the money just sits in there and doesn't go into my account.
What am I doing wrong or need to do to get them to deposit my money into my account?

I don't get the sheath part.
Does that stay attached?
If not, how is it removed?
