Which direction to install hardwood floors?

At Watson's Remodeling, Inc. & Design, we receive a lot of questions about choosing which direction to install hardwood floors. It is often a confusing choice for many. In a nutshell, the preference calls for running the flooring front to back as you enter your home. In other words, as you walk into the foyer, the hardwood will be installed perpendicular to the front door threshold. If the front entrance is rarely used and the main focal point becomes another point of entry it may be better to go perpendicular from there. 

Chimney Cleaning

Chimneys need periodic examination and thorough cleaning to maintain efficiency and to reduce the chance of a chimney fire. Build-up of creosote and soot that accumulates on the chimney walls reduces the draft needed by the stove or fireplace which may cause smoke to come out the opening or door. Creosote is flammable and can easily fuel a chimney fire. Methodical cleanings through the heating season combined with proper burning of fuel and systematic use of effective creosote and soot inhibitors, provides the best solution for trouble-free performance. If a fire has occurred, have your chimney thoroughly inspected by a certified professional before attempting to use it again. Dramatic results occur after proper cleaning.
