It’s always a second home owner, sometimes they think propane leak or water damage causin mold. Then I ask them, what did you think would happen? Didn’t think about it, is usually the answer.

Negative Batman. Direct vent outside is fine. I don’t think your supposed to have windows above the exhaust technically, but if your running the pellet stove the windows are usually closed.

Always buy the heaviest ladder with the highest weight rating you can--the heavier it is the less likely you are to use it.
Maybe flip it like a caber?
Watched a mouse run right over the top of a snap trap, ignoring the bait. One of those black plastic box type traps that are supposedly pet safe. Unless you have a pet mouse.

I bought some of those “mouse repellant” packets and put them in my garage. The mice ate them. Back to traps…

28 FG and 34 Alu are about the limit for me solo. 40 is def a two man job.
Plus those long ladders are bouncy as hell.

Bummer. I had that happen with the 2 door model sometimes as I recall but would eventually get snared. My mistake was letting one squirrel set up shop and overwinter in the attic. Research told me that when I killed it, squirrels could smell that a room was vacant and kept moving into the attic. Took me two summers of killing until the war ended.
They make a one door model with the bait at the back.

That explains it. Around here, if the socket is at the bottom of the unit, you can run a sealed double wall elbow and rise inside the building, and then elbow it out to a straight vent (that looks like a direct) as long as you're above the min height from ground and have sufficient distance from windows. But every jurisdiction is different, and there are obviously design differences between units as well.

There is a different issue here…
Why is the paint being damaged? Is water sitting on that cap, getting nasty, then staining the exterior? Then you need a new cap, something with a better slope?
Or your using the wrong paint…
Or water is getting behind the veneer…
The issue is not the height of the chimney….

Sorry.
Foothills of California. Basically never freezes. Highs in the 90s and 100s in the summer.
Home is decently insulated but not great. Stucco and 2x4 walls. Fairly shaded. 12” of blown in cellulose insulation in the attic.
A fair amount of glass, some big east facing windows (7’x24’ area). Fairly standard other than that big glass area. Windows are higher quality, Pella 3 pane but from 1999.
Electric is pricy. Up to $.41 per kWh.

Agree. My 40 foot ladder weighs at least 150#, and I can just barely get it from the ground top the top of my van by myself. I've tried and failed to set it up solo.
I used to free solo 15 pitch rock climbs often, but being 30 feet off the ground on that ladder freaks me out. I'll only use it on rare occasions and for special clients. I really should just sell it and make my WC insurance happy.ride bikes, climb, ski, travel, cook, work to fund former, repeat.
