I've actually finished something.
Chimney extension made from 4" ducting. 4'-0" long with 5" reducer at the base.
By adding three pieces of 'U' rubber edging to the the top of the chimney the
reducer fits a treat.

Just need to add a few slits in the reducer so it can be clamped on.

The heading 'Up Yer Pipe' reminded me of many years ago I did quite a lot of sailing and at a regatta in Falmouth, with 'Brittannia' on a visit, a lot of the sailing boats were 'dressed overall' . You hang up nearly every flag you've got including all the signal flags and one boat just hooked them together randomly not looking what they spelt, It was 'Up yer pipe' so the Harbour Master went and had a quiet word!

Had to check and make sure.
The wind vanes are orientated correctly.
Flash back to my petrochemical days.

Like that story Steve. In my youth I was in the sea cadets and we had signal flags strung up at the unit.
We were forever re arranging them. Had to be done.
