We met our fireplace vendor at KnArrow Haus today to *finally* get the installation completed, over 2 years after it began. The installation failed inspection last year due to some wires touching the exterior of the box; and they also installed an additional chimney segment above the roof line that tipped to the side after the first snow. Today, they...
The only thing remaining is to hook-up the low-voltage display/controller and fan -- which is waiting on the electrical rough-in. While they worked, Katie cleaned-up and moved stuff away from the walls to get ready for the electrician, who will start next Monday.
I finished installing the Panasonic Whisperline ventilation fans on each level, so they'd be in place for the electrician next week:
All three fans will separately vent through the wall to the outside. Except for the basement, the ventilation conduits will be exposed -- I'm planning to use the better-looking and hardier spiral pipe typically used for dust collection systems. But, I'm not planning to install the vent pipes until next year.
- Added 2 braces to anchor the chimney to the roof
- Replaced the chimeny cap with a new one that should withstand and shed the heavier snows
- Rerouted the wires in the fireplace box to go underneath on the wall instead of up the side

The basement's 240 CFM fan will extract air from the bathroom and laundry room.
The main floor 340 CFM fan will extract air from the bathroom and from the ventilation hood over the range.
The top floor 340 CFM fan will extract air from both toilet rooms and the shower room.
