This outward spacing pulled the stubby pipe section inside the wall, rendering it useless in my application so, until I visited SLOWES once more, the Chimney project is dead in the water, but easily completed with just a couple replacement pieces

So it was back to wiring. First up was the three gang switch box and the 20 amp compressor circuit

Here is a section of chimney pipe which measures 36" long and the very pipe that showed me I was way too close to the eve to make this actually fit properly.

Then I assembled the three piece base, slid the "T" home and slid up the base and screwed it to two studa

The "T" section requires you to add a transition pipe to the inside. I had selected a 12" section which soon proved to be a bit too short.

This "T" section just reeks of quality

As you can see, a chamber is created with dead space between the stove pipe and the double steel panel. The outside fixture creates one layer of steel, while the interior wall thimble creates the second.

Its a slick setup

First I had to enlarge the hole in the wall I cut out a few days ago

The tool rack seems to expand a bit more each time I visit.

My goal is to improve the site each time I go down there, to have more capability, and be closer to actually be able to go it alone and off grid there

Because of Sam's recommendation and since his neighbor is Santa Claus, I hunted down the quality Chimney parts he recommended

Just getting back from another couple days down at the hide.

Had both:

1. A UNE (Unnatural, Natural event)

and

2. A UTE (Unintentional Turkey Encounter)

The UNE is a sled dog, not naturally occuring in these parts coming in very close proximity to a turkey of about the same size.
That just ain't right, thus it becomes unnatural, although dogs encounter other edible creatures and that is very natural

It was a UTE since the dog was sleepin' whilst a big hen strolls into my back yard at the farm. The dog, spooked by my throwing something at it decides to relocate. The dog unwittingly walks right up on this monster (Godzilla like) turkey who was brazen enough to be walkin around in my yard during daylight hours while I am knockin' and bangin' on things and blessing my latest finger smashin' event (FSE)

I actually heard it before I saw it. I hear this unhold gobble/scream and my lightening fast reflexes has me by a window maybe 30 feet away from the sled dog almost nose to nose with this thing which I know she is evaluating as a meal. The bird just exploded in a mad whooshing of wings which had a frightening effect on the sled dog and the bird made good it's escape.

Would you know it, this morning that darned bird came back!

Now that's pure crap!

I have a sled dog, perhaps 100lbs of very near wolf like mannerisms and the little german soldier who runs away at first indication of trouble. Neither of these stalwart warriors seem to have any effect on this Turkey who seems to be challenging them somewhat

What next? A lying, cheatin' communist president?

My neighbor across the street has that exact same quad!

Just go at it slowly and go over every part

Just fix what needs fixing

DO NOT do a comprehensive oil change!!!!!

Got a DOT goin on here

Think I'll just sit back and watch what happens

Packing up and heading to Detroit for my Daughters wedding........sure are proud of their Hotel rooms downtown; can get robbed many ways in that town!

Looking forward to some down time and a trouble-free celebration!

Practice in-laws and practice-wife will provide some comic relief I'm sure.... :o. Toss my Dad in the mix and it could be "The Clampets Go To Detroit"   ;D

Get a vid of the quirky moments!

Now, we need female droids to walk in wearing a burkas and a suicide vest and blow a few dozen up and see just how long it takes for the burka to fall out of "style"......... ;)

I like it!

Psalm 119

1 Joyful are people of integrity,
    who follow the instructions of the Lord.
2 Joyful are those who obey his laws
    and search for him with all their hearts.
3 They do not compromise with evil,
    and they walk only in his paths.
4 You have charged us
    to keep your commandments carefully.
5 Oh, that my actions would consistently
    reflect your decrees!
6 Then I will not be ashamed
    when I compare my life with your commands.
7 As I learn your righteous regulations,
    I will thank you by living as I should!
8 I will obey your decrees.
    Please don’t give up on me!
9 How can a young person stay pure?
    By obeying your word.
10 I have tried hard to find you—
    don’t let me wander from your commands.
11 I have hidden your word in my heart,
    that I might not sin against you.
12 I praise you, O Lord;
    teach me your decrees.
13 I have recited aloud
    all the regulations you have given us.
14 I have rejoiced in your laws
    as much as in riches.
15 I will study your commandments
    and reflect on your ways.
16 I will delight in your decrees
    and not forget your word.

Is that table saw going to stay there? If so, thought about turning the stove so you have a bit more room to move before you apply clothes or skin to hot metal heater.. Cause it will happen.

Gotcha!

No, Nate, not me

Sorry for the misunderstanding, but I just copied a letter from one of the attendees.

Here's an ISIS story that will make your day! This is one time you will actually appreciate how
useful the burka can be!

 
British special forces troops donned the full-length Islamic dress to sneak undetected through
the ISIS' de facto capital Raqqa and take down their terrorist commander, news reports.

 
The eight-man SAS squad also eliminated several jihadi fighters after lifting up their burkas and opening fire on the stunned militants, who had no time to hide from the hail of bullets.

 
The men posed as ISIS chiefs wives by covering themselves from head-to-toe in the traditional
black burkas and managed to make their way to the group's headquarters. Underneath the burkas the troopers had grenades, machine guns and enough ammo to rain hell upon the terrorist scumbags. Priceless!

 
After making their way through the town they located the house of a senior terrorist chief and relayed the location and coordinates to a US Air Force AWAC mission control aircraft circling thousands of feet above.

The American spy plane then passed the information onto a US Reaper drone, which seconds later fired a Hellfire missile into the building, vaporizing the ISIS commander and several of his henchmen, The Express reported.

 
When jihadi militants heard the explosion they rushed onto the streets and discovered the burka-clad troopers, who took down several Jihads during a fierce gun battle as they fought their way to safety.

 
 
"The SAS team were moving back to their vehicles after the missile had struck when the town went into lockdown," a source revealed. "Gunmen were on the streets stopping everyone, lining people up against the walls and threatening to kill anyone who had helped the 'spies'."

 
"Just as the British soldiers were getting back into a minivan several gunmen ordered them to stop," the source said. "The troopers ignored the warnings and were about to drive off when the Jihads opened fire."

 
"The SAS jumped out of the vehicle, lifted up their burkas and opened fire. It must have been a massive shock to the gunmen," recalled the source. "One was killed instantly and two others ran off. The firefight gave the SAS just enough time to break contact with the ISIS gunmen and escape."

 
A good friend, on the ground reported that shortly after the daring raid, rumors started swirling around town that the "infidels" had sent women to do their fighting rather than men, the source said. However, as we know now, it was actually eight brave soldiers with far better training and much better equipment, and the result was that they struck a "severe blow" to ISIS/Daesh in the area.

 
It definitely takes a brave man to walk straight into the pits of hell like these soldiers did, especially knowing the consequences if they were caught. But it's awesome they used Islam's own rituals to infiltrate the group, then wreak havoc.

I sort of noticed that when I tried to shove some 12 gage wire into the hole while experimenting...It wouldn't fit!

Hilly-Billy proof! Whatcha know!

I'm kinda surprised that you didn't just drill the holes out, or shave the wires down to make them fit. ;)

Didn't have the right sized drill bit! ;-))

Oh, and notable wave and thumbs to our frozen Canadian friend, Sam, for straightening me out before I generated a building fire and Car-Rep-3 incident!

Don, in here you will find some installation details. As well you may be able to source the transition pieces you need.

http://www.selkirkcorp.com/SuperVent/Product.aspx?id=100

I don't know what brand you have, this one is very common, but may not be what you have.

I think you need a metal wall 'installation' piece, and I'm not sure about the wooden cradle outside. You may want to look at their options as well.

More info, less DOT this time.

All looks good in any case.

^^^^^ That's a good post^^^^^

Holy crap Sam!

I think I need to re-do that chimney pipe installation!

Just went to that link and THAT is the stuff I need

Gonna be spendy though...

Usin' my SLOWES discount of 10% I'll take it from ridiculous to just crazy expensive...

Here I am deciding which combustible to store next to the stove, and another pic of me pointing at something...

Well, it was on to more pasture weed killin' fun

I try to spend part of the day building in the living area, and part of it improving the land. Some day, I'll have one or the other, more or less, under control.

I once observed that a man of peace could be identified when a butterfly lands on him to rest.

While I was bush hogging and destroying it's habitat, a butterfly landed on my shoulder and rode around awhile.

Similarly, I no sooner mounted the shelf, like 5 seconds, when this guy showed up for a rest:

Surprised...No one has interrupted me yet...

I think we have a NDAE (No DOT Activity Event!)

Which is rare indeed!

Like palliated woodpeckers...The big red headed protected things which taste like chicken! Yumm!
