Cover Your Party

Making outdoor shelters out of pine branches is for Boy Scouts and pioneers.  If you are neither of those, please consider an outdoor shelter, a rain fly, a tent, or even a tarp.  You can tie them down with the woven bark of a sapling if you like, but leave the tent-making to the professionals.

Chimney Pipe Maintenance

Almost nothing contributes more directly to the health of your home than air quality, which is exactly why stove pipe, chimney pipes, chimney liners, and vent pipes are such a critical part of home maintenance.  Chimney pipes and chimney liners ensure that your chimney draws smoke and other fire byproducts properly, and stove and vent pipes help keep home appliances working at peak efficiency without endangering your home's air supply.


Regular maintenance is certainly a good idea, but making sure that your chimney, stove, and vents have the proper pipes and liners in place is an even better one.  Preventive maintenance can fix a problem before it even becomes one.  Outfit your home with the right stove pipes, chimney pipe, chimney liners, and vent pipe to make sure that you and your family live in a happy, healthy home for a lifetime.
