ri702bill 8,347 #5 Posted January 5, 2023 I for one would rather see all of the stovepipe exposed - just to be able to review the condition of the pipe & joints as it ages... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c-series don 8,724 #6 Posted January 6, 2023 I’ve seen this on the internet before, I like the fact that they made it look like the stick from the excavator is coming through the ceiling! Also I wonder if it’s sitting on a slab or is there a basement below? If there’s a basement below its got to have some very substantial floor beams because that bucket weighs a few pounds!! I showed this to my wife a while ago, she grew up with her family having an excavating business and so do I. She took one look and said NO! Don’t get any ideas!! 😂 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think that IS the actual stick (or part of it). That much steel makes an interesting thermal mass around the stove. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,916 #9 Posted January 6, 2023 Maybe the excavator got stuck during construction and they just built around it? 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grinchsr 629 #10 Posted January 6, 2023 (edited) I inspector in my town would probably say there is not enough fire protection around it. Edited January 6, 2023 by grinchsr 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
