[TheForge] vent hood

Sat Jan 3 10:00:01 2004

The only use for the chimney will be my gas forge. Since I do this for a 
hobby, I'm figuring on electric heat for the times I'm not forging. 
Definitely a gap around the insulated pipe going through the wall.

All I need to do is figure out how to attach the bracing to the upper 
section of pipe. Unfortunately, it looks like it will be spring before I 
get it up (I'm in Maine).
