After a full day of trial and error, its done! up and running! Started at about 9:30 am, one trip to the local hardware store, one to Sears, a stop at the grocery store, a five-year old's soccer game, a full on family outing to a local festival, and take out pizza, its finished and running at 8:30 pm. phew. Would have been a lot easier if i'd had everything i needed and if i didn't have 3 small "assistants."
anyway, its done, MUCH thanks to jdbell and j-takeman for your guidance -- couldn't have done it without!
My one remaining question is this: after running the Linteater up and down and not getting much residual, do i REALLY need to haul my leafblower up to my 2nd story roof? I can do it, but it won't be easy. There was a significant amount of soot clogging the liner from the blower to about 6 inches up. I am guessing that a lot of that settled since we last burned in March? What do you think, can i call it a day, or do i need to drag my butt up there?
