Looked at things for a while working out what was next. This was some rare daylight time so I decided I would just get into it, and I cut my chimney hole. Tentatively set everything in place, more so that I could see how everything looked. It can’t stay there, several different things need to be lashed down properly. But, it provided me with heaps of incentive to get into it again tomorrow. The tasks – finalise the position for the fire, brace it so that it doesn’t tip in an earthquake, cut the inner flue to length, build housing for top flue, rivet everything into place, fit flashing.
