Ok you bunch of hooligans,
I'm starting a thread that will be updated within the next few weeks/months on questions/projects I have about a recent house purchase (yay me, no more apartment!). I know we have some electricians, plumbers, HVAC, carpenters, etc on here and I would like to pick your brain about fixing things around the house and what I can do myself to save money (I am a poor public educator...), what I should hire a pro for, etc... So please if you have a trade or vocational training, please keep your eyes on this thread for a few months.
First up are some gaps in the fireplace on the outside wall (stucco). Is that something I can just fill in with stucco/caulk? Or do I need to get a chimney sweep to come in and make sure the flu/lining is all correct before I start? Anything else I may be missing or need to look at?
Thanks folks... If anyone wants to help with the moving party, send me a PM. I don't have a lot but I do have a few heavy pieces and my broken body will need a little help as my poor wife is all of 10lbs soaking wet wearing a weight belt and combat boots. HA!
