About this blog title

I cannot tell you how many times I have shown up at events with a couple of cameras around my neck, a gadget bag full of odds & ends and a lighting kit and have been asked that question. If it happened once every few years, that would be one thing. But it happens a LOT. It's like getting pulled over by the police and he's standing there with uniform, gun, flashing lights and asking him "Are you a cop?" I would love to come back with a witty reply, such as "No, I am Jesus. Don't you recognize my beard?" However, I cannot be that rude.

Chimney and furnace repair

About a week or so ago I finally got my wood stove chimney repaired and the oil furnace repaired. That's a good thing because this Winter keeps marching on cold as ever. On Tuesday  the temperature was minus 26 degrees and reached a high for the day of minus 6.  Yesterday it was minus 16 and we had a high of minus 2.
Me with a 3 foot section of Selkirk stainless steel, all fuel chimney. This piece was damaged from heavy ice. 

This is me repairing the wood stove chimney. Turns out I only needed to replace one damaged section of the chimney as well as the roof flashing. 
While I was on the ladder repairing my chimney a guy from Bartlett's Plumbing & Heating, Adams, NY, was replacing the blower motor in the oil furnace in our basement. Heat wise, we are back in business dealing with Old Man Winter.
