Almost done 23/12/12

Abandoned plans to finish to stove flue yesterday due to the poor weather - at least the sealant around the chimney collar has done its job and kept the rain out!
It was nice to wake up to a sunny day today and get down to Findern to finish to flue.
It wasn't long before the horrifying moment when I realised that the slope of the roof meant that another bend was needed in the flue. Fortunately I had another 15 degree bend to correct the angle.
I resealed the roof collar and then painted it with undercoat.
I will not do any more sealing of the flue until I have fitted the plate around the collar (internal) to cover the bolt holes.
Jobs still to do - top coat around the exterior of the collar, internal trim around the collar. Final seal of the flue. Chimney to suit.
