You can save yourself a whole lot of labor by installing triple wall, or perhaps just a double wall pipe sold at your local Home Depot. I've built 3 chimneys in my younger days. You need to start with a good foundation, or I built one right on the garage floor. Start with the square chimney blocks, and your lowest one will need a cleanout installed. The flupipe (I used the square 8 inch tile pipe) will sit and cemented right to the floor. Just built straight up from there. Knock a hole in the flu pipe where the pipe from the stove goes thru. I think, if I remember right, they sell a square block with a hole already in it to install the sleeve. Don't worry about the connection from sleeve to the flue pipe. Knock off the mortar on the inside of the flue, so it'll be relatively smooth. When you get as high as you want to go, take mortar and taper up to the flue pipe so rain water can run off. If the chimney is inside the house, you may want to install a rain cap, or water many end up in your basement. I may have missed a few things, it ain't hard, but it'll take a good day to build with one person helping to mix mortar, hand you the materials, and help drink beer.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
