I'll be using sootEater.

Question guys: Still messin with this (got delayed due to weather). Went to install roof brace (rods) and the bands that go around the pipe aare still loose even after I tightened the bolt the whole way. So the bolt is now bottomed out and the band is still loose. ;?View attachment 246747
The band is not assembled correctly. Never mine you figured it out
 
Got the chimney up.:)

Man, is it gonna take some getting-used-to. It looks like we're trying to spy on North Korea with a land based periscope. !!!

Roof pitch is 10/12 or so. Steep. Had to go so high with the class A in order to get it high enough for the 2/10/3 rule.

Should have plenty of draft with this though.

Ended up putting the brace up on the upper pipe,,,, it just seemed more sturdy up higher..

Had to extend support box in attic. Attic is in process to be finished and insulated (and heated). So box goes whole way into roof sheathing. Will add a layer of Roxul around "chase" later.
