Martinâs Ten Rules of Roof Design Like chimneys, plumbing vents should penetrate a roof near the ridge rather than near the eave, for two reasons: 1  While ridges are dry, eaves are wet. Eaves see much more water over the course of a year than ridges, so any defect near an eave will leak more water than a defect near a ridge.

- I bought a house that has a napoleon wood stove and the chimney. The stove and chimney are new and have not been used, I do not know what pipe I need to hook it up. The distance between the bottom of the chimney ring to the top of the ring on the stove is 6.5 feet.I am thinking about double wall pipe. It is a straight shot from the stove to the chimney. have a wood stove in the basement, a brick chimney lined with a flue tile, and a screened rain cap on top. When the wood stove is not in use and is cold, cold outside air comes down the chimney through the stove and into the basement. The basement smells like burnt wood.

For example, a stack placed 30 ft away from an air intake should be at least 10 ft higher than the center of the intake. Figure III:3-8.

- i think the only way to really do this is to open up the roof a few feet up from the eaves and to the second rafter in from the rakes. then you'll be installing lookouts off that 2nd rafter, notched through the end rafters and overhanging whatever you want, then hang a barge rafter off the lookouts.

height above gas range should the vent hood be? However, we recommend allowing 28- 36 between the bottom of the vent hood and your cooking surface. Less than 28 from the cooktop will be too hot, and more than 36 from the cooktop will start to decrease the efficiency of your range hood in capturing steam, grease, odors, and even toxic chemicals released from cooking. The average height is normally 32 above the cooking surface.

Cost to Tuckpoint a Chimney To carry and hold mortar while you’re working with it you can buy a metal hawk board or make one with a simple scrap piece of plywood that’s about 12-inches square. Nail it to the end of a short piece of dowel for a handle and you’re good to go. Climbing up to the roof of a two-story house to inspect and repair a chimney can be dicey and dangerous even for the most sure-footed, so we recommend hiring out this job despite potential savings of 79 percent by doing it yourself.

Measurements for Range Hood Installation The minimum distance recommended between the stove top and the range hood is 18” – 20” and the maximum distance recommended is 30”. If you decide to place the range hood farther away from the stove top than 30”, it will not work as well.ote the measurement from your stove top to the bottom of the closest cabinet or to the ceiling. A bigger range hood is always better if it can fit in your space. Also note that 24” range hoods are designed to fit into a 24” space (they are not manufactured to be exactly 24” wide).

- “Pointing” refers to the finished cement between the brick courses either on a wall or chimney. How much it costs to point or repoint a chimney stack will ultimately depend on the size of the chimney and the access to it. If your chimney is very high, big and has a glass roof/conservatory located directly beneath it, then it’s going to cost a lot more in scaffold fees!

Chimney A chimney is a structure that provides ventilation for hot flue gases or smoke from a boiler, stove, furnace or fireplace to the outside atmosphere. Chimneys are typically vertical, or as near as possible to vertical, to ensure that the gases flow smoothly, drawing air into the combustion in what is known as the stack, or chimney effect.
