If it's a flue, it'll be functional
when it's @ 3' taller.
(2' higher than anything within 10')

Looks like they have two of them WOOW that really adds a special something to the house. Any bets how many seasons that loose one will stand straight? 4-5 tops meanwhile after 2 it's gonna look like someone poured creosote all over it, coming thru the block and all.

Re: Well.....at Least It's Functional


Looking at the photo I would say there is both a heating and a cooling problem. Maybe instead of buying a lift of cinder block and wood burner last Christmas and the purchase of the Frigidaire window unit this 4th of July. They might have spent their money wiser by purchasing a little pink insulation for the walls and ceiling….just an observations.
