FireSmart Activity

Enclosing under deck with metal.

Wire mesh:

• I have received a sample of less than 3mm mesh from  https://wildfiredefensemesh.com/  along with some literature about group pricing for protection of 30 homes
• I ordered some mesh through Amazon for the venting on my tool shed roof - they shipped Intelcom to my Canada Post Flex delivery address, so there have been many phonecalls, and I may get it tomorrow - stashed in the yard of a friend's place - a week from Langley to Oliver.

Deck Treatment:

• I have looked at many types of fire rated decking, and at this point, it is not in my budget to replace the decks. A product I researched last year is available in Langley - almost $300 for two gallons
• It will be labour intensive for me - I will have to lift the deck boards, sand off the finish, apply the material, put metal tape on the top of the joists, replace the boards, and paint on top.
• If I have some material left over, I will let you know. If you are interested, I can forward you the 4 e-mails with the product info.

Tree Removal:

The old pines close to the cabin are gone, the siding was upgraded to metal awhile ago. It is a good thing that Anne has 3 siblings, 3 offspring, and 5 nieces and nephews. Should be able to get a bit of a crew from the clan.
