Flue Pipe Handrail
This is from a 180 year old rowhouse in Philly. They sleeved the single walled pipe through the larger flue pipe I suppose in a feeble attempt to help cut down on heat transfer. There was no other way to route this pipe either. Just a flat out poor design.

Re: Flue Pipe Handrail
Nick,

That stairway looks like it might be in the home of Buffalo Bobs. You didn't find any large moths flying around did you?

Re: Flue Pipe Handrail
No moths Rick but I did find one large dead roach on the basement floor that the realtor claimed was a water bug.
