      Welcome aboard! If you have to buy boulders, tell the supplier that you are building a wall, and that you desire flat ones. It's hard work doing it the way I did. Take your time and don't try to over do and and get too tired; that's when things happen. Biggest flattest ones on the bottom. It's like a puzzle, so you probably have move them around more than once. Hope that helps some.

    Hey there had a question on the exterior chimney pipe to interior stove pipe transition. Getting the same setup from Menards. I am confused as to how the transition occurs with double wall pipe inside the ceiling support box. Do I need a universal chimney adapter as well as a stove pipe adapter?

    • @MIhere2
      @MIhere2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I used the cathedral ceiling support box, and it came with a clamp type collar that went around the first length of insulated chimney. You clamped and screwed it into the chimney pipe about 6" up. The edge of the collar is what hold the chimney up when you set it in the support box. A stove pipe adaptor, (separate purchase) is then attached to the chimney pipe hanging that 6" down on the inside of building. That's about the best I could describe it.

Maybe that's just for double wall flue pipe? One other question- any tips on how to find the ceiling rafters on a vaulted ceiling (no attic to get into)? First time, so I'm a little nervous trying to figure it out!

    As a stone mason, I'd like to offer a tip to anyone attempting this. You can take chicken wire and either bolt it on like what is done with the chain here, or use a concrete nailer to nail the wire on. By doing this, the rock will be tied in across the whole wall, not just where the chains are.

    Make it easy on yourself, let the air out of tires to about 15lbs. Tighten tracks up then put air back in. No easier way than that. Smaller machines, Tighten and run about 30psi so rocks and limbs can can go thru. If not, it binds up. Big machines, like my extra 963 bobcat, same way but full air. They are to heavy and you will pop bead off when operating. You can also run the strap under the track to hold it up. Just thought I would help out.

    • @MIhere2

      I was told by one insurance agent, that some states regulate the percent of increase that an Ins. Co. can raise their premiums per year. Not verified, but was told in California, they can only a 2% (?) per year increase was allowed, so premiums go up a lot more in other states to make up the difference an insurance company wants. Was told State Farm is pulling out of California because of that.
