Well here's my first attempt at a homemade chimney cap. I couldn't justify spending $300 bux for a cheap stainless dual flue cap so I made this one out of stuff I had laying around.

No Laughing.

I found an old pedal car that has seen better days. 2 of the wheels were rotted off. I bribed the fabricator downstairs with coffee and Burger King. We made a frame, attached the car, the wheels are actually heater hose since the originals were rotted. The roof is one of those galvanized drain trays you get at Autozone. Figure It's a cheap replacement. I sure couldn't justify spend all the $$ to get a generic cap. I originally wanted to make a train but it was gunna be too long.
