Stove Pipe

Here's the before picture - while the umbrella was still intact. We had the section of pipe that goes through roof in place before the roof was put on which should make it less likely to leak down the road. We attempted to get through the winter with an umbrella over the top (which we could put on top from inside the addition) but after a good wind storm, it was torn to shreds, as you could imagine.


This winter, we should be in better shape - since Pete put up the stove pipe! I don't think this was a very fun job. Pete borrowed his friends climbing rope to tie himself off while putting it up, but it still looked really scary. With the 10/12 pitch, it's almost impossible to stand up there. But, it's up, and the umbrella is gone.

He also installed the firebox in the rafters which was a trick. It looks like the stove pipe ended up in the right spot -with all the right clearances to the walls for a woodstove. Phew.
