Jim Baird Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Wonder why anybody would stack a flue liner like this on top of the one lining the brick column. There was no code need for height here. There appeared to be some mortar but I would not lean a ladder against this thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 we have seen that pretty often. heights and wind direction is only reason I can think of. I suppose there is a hundred rules why not, but if it works, what is real implication? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No height prob by far here, but hearth was sealed off on inspection day...thinking of a sweep maybe wanting to lean a ladder there to look. I didn't.

It's a phrase meaning something was either more effort than it's worth or doing more than necessary. I've only heard it in the South and it was a nickel.

hausdok Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 It was done to make it draw better. No wonder the hearth was covered - that stack is taking on water and they never figured out it was due to the cracked and almost non-existent crown (If you can call it that). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The inflation back then... amazing. 😄😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
