Got the wood stove chimney through the soffit and got all the flashing done and stuff after procrastinating most of summer (was waiting for it to not be so bloody hot out) and I managed to find someone to come do a WETT inspection on Monday. Will leave the soffit open so they can look inside. Fingers crossed that it passes. My insurance doesn't require it and as far as they go, I'm all setup and could start using it any time, but if it causes a fire and turns out it's because of workmanship issues then it wouldn't be covered, so still best to get it done then I have something to prove it was well done.
Only thing I really have left to do is to add another section on top as it's not quite high enough. I was a bit worried about the roof bracing and trying to find a joist but inspector said it's fine to go through sheathing. My roof is due to be redone in next few years anyway so I'll just ask roofers to see if they can relocate the mount to a joist. Easier to find joists when the shingles are off.
But yeah it's great to be very close to being able to use the wood stove. Only been like 2 years since I bought it lol. I originally was trying to find someone to do the work for me but couldn't find anyone, so I was worried it would be the same deal with trying to find an inspector.
Edit: Decided to add the extra length and finish it up. Will feel better about the inspection that way. Was going to ask if it's tall enough as is but I felt it was not when looking at the rules.
Edit2: Just got a job offer from the secret services.
