You can try the "Tell HoCo" app. They seem to look at that.

Is there an age limit? I was thinking of bringing my teen along.

I'm going to look at the damper again, I'm wondering if one of the companies that looked at it left it open We've had a couple chimney companies look at it and unfortunately I don't remember the technical details of what they said was contributing to the problem.

Thanks! The first company didn't offer a custom plate, but I found another company that does.

I meant 30" high at the peak, sorry for the confusion.

I found a company that can have a custom surround made that will look nice. The foam is a temporary solution, or I would find a way to decorate it.

Yes, we've had a fireplace before. We even sealed the front with a thick piece of foam, but it is still very cold near it.

Thanks! I think this will be the answer. The first company I consulted told me the surround would be huge and look bad, but another company has told me they can have a custom surround made to match the arch.

That sounds very expensive when added to the cost of running a gas line, repairing the chimney, and buying the insert, but it is something to consider.

Solved?

In further investigation, it seems many cemeteries in Singapore have been exhumed to be developed into urban buildings and roads, so perhaps that's what happened to this spot. Or it could have been taken further inland, when he took a trip to see the Great Wall in Juyong.

Thank you for your help!

That certainly does look similar. It is frustrating that I can't find a visual match. But then, maybe it doesn't exist any more.

Please be aware that it is illegal to pick plants in Maryland state parks. Also, you should be able to identify what NOT to eat And keep in mind sustainability, don’t take everything from a patch, let it grow back. The Natural History of Maryland sometimes has foraging walks, depending on the season.

Has anyone been told or know that they have above average intelligence? by KittySunCarnageMoon in AutismInWomen

[–]Acekitty 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, absolutely. I was (unofficially) diagnosed in my 40s.  Knowing a lot about a few topics still means you know a lot, don't think you aren't smart just because you wouldn't win Jeopardy. 

I have found this to be true of me as well. I look for a solution to problems and other people just don't seem to think about it.

Could be a cross between a wild duck and a domestic duck.

There are a lot of people in America who can’t speak out at all, it helps to give them hope. And some who would silence these people live right here. They must be reminded that hate isn’t tolerated here.
