In the morning, Perry and I installed all the fascias and feature strips on the sauna building.  In the afternoon, we installed all the corner trim. Just before quitting time we installed the stainless steel chimney cap for the house.  However, the cap came with a flimsy pressure attachment system that I didn’t like t’all.  So the first thing I did was to modify the cap and then drill four ¼″ holes near the top of the chimney flue so that we could bolt the cap to the chimney.  Now, not even a hurricane will take that cap away, yet it will come off easily by backing out the bolts. That project done, I sprayed all the exposed chimney masonry with Thompson’s Waterseal^®.
