It’s been a long time ago, so my memory might be wrong, but: a friend was helping me install the chimney for our newly-purchased woodstove. IIRC, we used a .22 rifle to shoot a hole through the ceiling and roof so we could cut the 2 holes and have them in line. As I said, my memory might be faulty in that we only TALKED about doing it this way.
My friend was of the type (and I quote him), “I don’t need a f’in shop manual, I have a torch!” He wasn’t joking, either.
See, don’t be so quick to judge.

I’ve been to Sedalia Missouri. Doesn’t surprise me in the least. I’ll be a little careful on the rest as I still have in-laws down that way.
Were it self inflicted, it would be social Darwinism. Alas.
Some people are irreversibly stupid, who should be immediately aborted from society.
This douchebag qualifies.
The bog mindles.
Epic fail, indeed.
One of my mentors was always telling me “HB, you have to remember, people are basically stupid.” This story is a perfect illustration of his point.
Home improvement is not for everyone. People should leave this kind of thing to the experts – or at least to the competent.

Remind me to be a long way off when you do further home improvements of this nature.
Jdunmeyer, you would probably have made sure your wife wasn’t standing on the roof, right?
