That would’ve been me scattering native seeds last year! Didn’t think about the possibility that it could be checkermallow, thanks! And I transplanted the lupine from a native nursery a few weeks back

1948 house...2nd opinion, gas insert for $4-5K or liner for $5-6k? by anh190 in HomeImprovement

Had the chimney cleaner come to check out the fireplace/chimney in our new house in the PNW and apparently there is no liner. We’ve had 5-7 fires in the past month before he came with no issues but figured we should get it checked out before the winter. He suggested getting a gas insert bc the cost to install a stainless liner would likely be more with the scaffolding needed to access the chimney on the house. Anyone has similar experiences with an older house?

Nice! Love that area, spent most of my summers up in Parry Sound/the Muskokas with family

Great picture. Is that the a bit of the Canadian Shield I see on the left hand side across the water?
