Chimney Install// The Way I Do It// From Start To Finnish

[@raymondrockwell4168]

It's amazing in all these videos that they all jump past the part on how to line up the hole through the roof

[@SkinnersOffGrid]

Just cut your hole in the ceiling where you want your chimney..Then use a plumb bob up in the attic to find centre of your hole, then drill a small hole up through the roof.. then go up on to the roof and cut your hole. Cheers!

Ok Mr. This is how I do things, congratulations you are the first one to put the damper in the proper place that I have seen in almost 45 years. I helped my Dad put up a small stove in our house and as we got to the pipe placement he put the first section together I asked him how do we make the round pipe fit the oval outlet from the stove. before a blink of an eye he grabbed the section of pipe, slammed it on the kitchen table, held it up for me to see and there it was oval at one end round at the other. When that pipe hit the table I liked to jumped out of my skin. He two put the damper in the middle of the second section of the pipe.Good job. Yikes that deck looks great!

[@Erated78]

Great job Cecil! thanks for taking us along.

[@markmortensen4341]

Looks really good and you made it look easy as well‼️😊

[@aldredske6197]

Good morning folks!!😁😁 Nice job installing the chimney. I always put the damper in the middle of the second section of pipe also.
The deck looks really nice after it's stained. Now I suppose you will have to build a railing for it. Take care my friend 's and don't work too hard!!😁😁Talk to you soon!!
Your friend Al.

[@SkinnersOffGrid]

Good morning Al. Thanks Al, yeah it's not good to have it too close to the stove. Thanks Heathers dad stained the deck the same day we finished it... Yes they want a railing on it soon I believe. Thanks again my friend, you take care ttyl... Cheers 🌞

[@stevecarlsonyoutubechannel9251]

Thank you for your video

[@grahamallen3941]

Hey what a great job Cecil, well done buddy. That looks really nice. Love all the views from the roof. I noticed there was some handsome guy up there doing the travelogue and what to see.....wonderful!! Take care you two. Best wishes. Graham🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@SkinnersOffGrid]

Thanks Graham, It was another fun day. Lol yeah I was having some fun up on the roof... Ah who am I kidding, I always have fun lol. Glad you enjoyed the video. You take care my friend, ttyl... Cheers.

[@thechimneyboys4990]

Great job with the video. I love it.

[@jacquespapillon1154]

Hello Cecil and Heather, great job and nice vid too. Take care and Tyrrs friends.

[@robert5]

shouldent you use some high temp silicone calking around that storm collar and the flu pipe up top?

[@LakesideRocker66]

Good thing you secured sheet metal to the wall behind the pipe with the damper that high! ...stove pipe is only 24 gauge so I'm sure she gets HOT!
Having to replace a damper is rare as they're made to get hot. If you want heat from the pipe, I recommend a fan or a Magic Heat. =]

[@foxglove8836]

The decking looks great :-) Nice view lol

[@SkinnersOffGrid]

Thanks linda, I think the deck tuned out ok.... Thanks, I don't think it was the view Fed was looking for, I just couldn't resist lol. Thanks again... Cheers.

[@williamj.barnhartjr.3108]

Awesome video Cecil is love to live up their with very few rules you did and awesome job on that plus I live in a town called Weedville Pennsylvania its in elk county

[@talltimber4577]

Been there many times!

[@Bigdaddy1992.]

Great video I never seen the damper that far up

[@josephnakoochee8865]

That aluminum tin and screws are heat transference

[@SkinnersOffGrid]

Yup..sure is..but it's also an insulated Chimney. I did this video years ago and so far everything is still great, Zero leaks as well. Cheers!

[@hub1969]

Great job on the installation. Have a great day and stay safe.

[@mikelamothesr.8998]

Great install, I miss the wood heat, even the work hauling in the wood when it comes to that.

[@jasonrobinson5854]

Plumb bob never lies.....

[@thefirewooddoctor]

In the stove pipe for a friend's high-efficiency wood stove, they had a dampener. It ran the stove pipe too cold and the creosote buildup was terrible. They had to take it out.

[@SkinnersOffGrid]

Yes I have seen that before when the people used too large of a pipe going up from the stove... This is a six inch all the way up, also their stove probably had a baffle inside it, This stove does not have one Jeffrey, Apples to Oranges 🙄

[@thefirewooddoctor]

Off Grid Homesteader Cecil E Skinner Just gotta know your equipment like you said. Hope to get an RV garage built before winter, and have it heated. Hint hint

[@bobjoncas2814]

..nice stove.

[@SkinnersOffGrid]

Yeah the stove is a cute little one. Cheers.

[@parkinson1977]

Hi eather & Cecil. really enjoyed this video, i like it when your working on projects. Will youfire the stove up to check the chimney ? take care. :-))

Thanks Jerry... Cheers.

How do I learn how to construct my own home from start to finish kust like you did?

[@SkinnersOffGrid]

Hello...On this Channel I have videos of many homes and cottages I have built. Cheers.

[@rosethroop8410]

Hope that bees nest I saw when you were telling use about the trusses you built has no be in it ?

[@janbeason9120]

I know this is going to sound stupid...but what is the black interior metal thing that the pipes go through onto the ceiling...what is that interior metal piece called that covers the hole...the pipes go through to the roof?

[@outlawslaw1]

Thimble i believe

[@janbeason9120]

Also...where do I get it @?

[@That1ufo]

Why is the inside being renovated already? under 10 years old?

[@SkinnersOffGrid]

The cottage is just actually getting finished, they were just too busy to get to it, they own and run a hunting fishing camp in the summer plus prospect lots, also they were still finishing up small projects in their new house.

I suspected you were just joking.. That's why I liked and loved your comment this morning and tried joking back. Now I am hoping you weren't offended. Cheers.

[@o0o-jd-o0o95]

@@SkinnersOffGrid no no I rarely ever get offended I know I'm not perfect neither is anyone else so if somebody says something to me that might be offensive I just let it roll whatever hehe

[@kennkid9912]

Drill first?

[@coldspring624]

So thats the way you flash

[@joequillun7790]

Not really. The chimney flashing on the roof should be slid under the shingles about 1/2 way down the thimble, if not more. That way you're not relying on the glue on the sides as the sealer, but the shingles themselves. But I guess this method will work, for a while, until the tar starts cracking.

[@billyboots3730]

@@joequillun7790 i guess you can always just check the tar and repair as needed, it only takes 5 minutes, once a year to check up on it

[@TheTunnellTake]

Funny how you didnt show that last peice of pipe going in and my money is on that roof job leaking. All you have to do is read the instructions if you dont fully understand water shed.

[@SkinnersOffGrid]

Hello. It's been few years now since I did this job...and we still have no leaks, that's even with the 4 feet of snow we get up here. Cheers.

[@bobtinnes]

to long blade what if a wire was in the ceiling

[@JCrook1028]

He built and wired the house..... I think he knows where the wires are. Plus he said in the video that he had removed the insulation. Hence he was up there and knew no wires.

[@SkinnersOffGrid]

Thanks JC, Yes you are right, I went up in the attic first... And I knew there would be no reason for wires being in that corner, no lights or light switch over there and the electrical panel is on the other side of the house... Thanks again my friend, cheers 🌞

[@JackSparrow-yx1vl]

He doesn’t care,he didn’t even checked for the layout of roof trusses before cutting the hole,plumbing and wiring is optional for him as well
