DAY 9 - Chimney Delivery - Cupola Completion

Day 9 (its been a slow week-we are not in a hurry) Yesterday, the support beam was installed. The installation of the underground plumbing will start today and the cement pour will start in 3 days. (All approximations!)

 BUT,

Today we received delivery of the chimney parts!  We will need them in the next week or so when the roof is installed.  We are using 6" SuperPro Cathedral Ceiling support, 6" x 48" Class-A chimney pipe, Guardian 304 Stainless steel (5/8" mesh) chimney cap, 6" Champion stainless storm collar and vented roof flashing. The cast iron oven will be installed in the living area that will have a cathedral ceiling.


In addition to the Chimney, the handmade cupola will be installed as well.


My talented husband designed and fabricated the cupola. He made the wood frame, painted and installed reclaimed aluminum panels on two side walls. We purchased 36x24 end-louver flush mount vents for the other two side walls and topped it off with a very nice copper deer weather vane. Some final finishing will take place this week.

His lovely wife painted the flat aluminum star so it looks 3d. There are two, one on either side of the cupola.
