construct it this way?


And no,

I wasn't drunk.

The house wasn't leaning and the chimney was straight.
I wasn't leaning on anything when I took the pic.

To get the chimney to penetrate the roof at the peak instead of downslope.

Or vice-versa... very common in my area.

Thank you. I've never encountered one.

Have a good weekend.
