Thanks gents! The 2nd iteration will be the best one since all the nonsense should be corrected. I'm anticipating the next build will take 1/3 less time to complete. It will be in a commercial location, so in addition to the building, I'm thinking about how it's to be presented. It should be on a some kind of podium with plexi cover. I'll get that picture laminated and possibly put together some kind of description. It truly will be in a museum of sorts.
Number 1 grandson was here overnight on Saturday, so he wanted to work a bit in the shop completing the destruction of that old Canon printer. When he's down there, so am I. I only spent about a half hour yesterday morning, but drilled the roof to accept the tall stack and big vent. I woke up thinking that I needed to locate these two before the shingles were done since drilling into the shingles would make a mess.
The 3/16" stack hole is 1" in and 1" offset from the roof edge and mid-wall respectively. The 1/4" vent hole is 1" in from the edge and 1.5" in from the end wall.
I added a 1/4" piece of brass tubing into the vent which will serve as the resin sprue for casting and the mounting lug of the resin vent. I'm going to insert a telescoping piece of brass into the stack tubes which will serve as sprues, but will be cut off before mounting. Here's the two just place for fit.
I'm going to trace these locations and cut the shingles and tar paper so there's none under either unit. I want them glued solidly onto the substrate and not onto the paper covering. There will be some flashing under both of them to hide any irregularities. That's why G_d invented moldings. To cover sloppy workmanship.
Today's an exercise day, but I'm getting an early start and should have lots of time in the shop too.
