Jim Baird Posted July 23, 2019 Report 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.
Les Posted July 24, 2019 Report 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?

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 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
