Planning to build a yurt in Czech Republic

[Knecht]

Hoped to adjust the roof today, but it was too windy. At least I've finished the chimney top piece that I'll put through the crown hole when we finally finish the roof.
Was too lazy to make the top hat, so I bought one. Couldn't find one that would fit my pipe, so I bolted it to the pipe, using spacers made of scrap copper tube. Guess that will work nicely. The hat was made of zinc-coated sheet, so I just put two layers of black paint on the outer side to further protect it against rain and rust. The stove pipe got a layer of zinc spray and maybe I'll wipe some graphite powder on it once it's in place. That stuff lasts for surprisingly long time.
