A few weekends ago I installed the portion of the chimney for the wood stove that goes through the attic. In this picture you can see the ceiling support assembly including the insulation protector plus a few lengths of insulated chimney pipe.There are three lengths of insulated chimney pipe installed. From the bottom there are two 3-foot sections followed by one 2-foot section. These take the chimney to just under the roof.
My roofer will be returning to finish the installation of the chimney flashing and the rest of the chimney up through the flashing (see picture at left) and cap it with the chimney cap.I can almost feel the warmth of the wood stove easing the aches of my muscles...
COMING: More information on chimney installation and chimney materials, plus the installation of the wood stove itself. That should be in early November...
