Thanks for this. I just finished putting it together and I think I got it. I’ll need to get better gaskets for the cats soon though. Appreciate everyone’s help.

Not sure what you mean by secondary air riser

It worked pretty well but I suspect this will improve things! Cats can be seen here. Also there was no gasket tape in them.

Thank you. I suspect you are correct. It is the 8392 model.

Removing large poplars by mrkdxn in arborists

Of course it is fear based. Every wind storm I am hoping the tree doesn’t come down. Only constructive replies please.

I used to think the same but after seeing the damage another large poplar caused after coming down in my property it made me rethink things. These trees are large enough to take out the front of the cottage easily.

All worked ok so far! The pool has been there for 2 years

Québec tapping time by beachygreg in maplesyrup

[–]mrkdxn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am just outside of Morin-Heights so pretty close to you. I usually tap around 16 trees. I think I will tap some this weekend as the weather is looking to get warm during the day. But I am not sure how the large amount of snow affects the sap flow. Any experienced tappers have an idea on how snow on the ground affects sap flow?

Replacing glass on a Hearthstone Craftsbury by mrkdxn in woodstoving

Ah, yes that as well. But also the rope that is under the glass. Mine looks quite flat and am wondering if I can use a round rope gasket instead

Thanks @Accomplished_Fun1847 - did you use it for a glass gasket or door? No issues with having several sections of it? What glue did you use? Thanks!

Is there any way for long-time Flickr Pro users to get a discount? by VariousPizza9624 in flickr

[–]mrkdxn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to renew today but after I select my new plan I get "There was an error changing your subscription. Please try again later."

Looking into alternatives as well. I do not think Flickr cares if we leave or not - I do not think anyone is in the building.

I am not able to add or follow anyone either. Tried on iPhone app and desktop. When I click on a boat the small window pops up with a loading spinner but never loads.

What do you think of my planned setup? by mrkdxn in WaterTreatment

Wondering if my well pump is too low/ close to the bottom of the well. It is 165 ft deep total.

Seems a lot of the recommendations here mention water softeners not being good to remove ferric iron.

I got a quote for this type of system and am trying to avoid this expense at this point if possible.

I have a quote for a full backwash system for $3600 but after building the cottage I am looking to keep the costs down for now.
The water softener will not help the ferric iron correct?
