Mark the Exit Point of the Roof
Locate the point where the chimney will exit the roof by
plumbing down to the center of the chimney. Drive a nail
up through the roof to mark the center. See Figure 6.3.
Cut Out the Hole in the Roof
Measure to either side of the nail and mark the 14-1/2 in.

is measured on the horizontal; actual length may be larg-
er depending on the pitch of the roof. Cut out and frame
the opening. See Chapter 25 of the Uniform Building
