Chimney going up

Chimney going up
Originally uploaded by Lenny & Meriel.

The chimney is going up slowly but steadily. As far as we can ascertain the flue pipes that arrived a while back ar being joined in readiness to fit inside. The idea is that an elbow will come off the flue at 45 degrees to connect with the stove/ However, the flue will continue down to where the concrete plinth is (halfway down the construction in this image), so that any unwanted particles will collect at the bottom of the pipe. We'll have an access panel in the hallway to get in and clean it out every year or so.
