Yes, real nice work.

What are the labor hours for one of them (or both)

They look around 5' x 5' x 3'h and at least 120 pounds apiece. How on earth are you planning on installing them on a roof?

I can only imagine a roof with chimneys that large must be more than two stories off the ground.

they are only about 2 sheets of copper so they are about 60 pounds, still not easy to carry up.

Thank's guys,

The chimney caps are like 42"x 42" and I would guess about 60 lbs each. The home is large & multiple storys but @ 6 million, "One would hope so."

I know us FL. crackers have swamp buggys and funny looking air boats, But We even have high lift truck's and crane truck's ( How do you think we pull them buggy's out of the swamp ) So a 60 lbs. install is no big deal.
You guy are alway kidding on us "FL. CRACKERS"

HA! HA!

I was 50% off on the dimensions. Smile

We don't have our own lift, but we have been known to use one from a roofing company or two. Seriously, though, if that was scaled up to over 100 pounds I'd be worried about it holding its shape on the way up. Its one thing to have an extra set of helping hands on the ground, but once you throw straps on it the structure pretty much has to support itself.

Ha, 6 million Sq.Ft. in Ft Myers, must be a Wisconsin Doctors winter retreat. Smile

Nice work. I wish I got to do more decrotive stuff now and again! How did you clean them up? They are nice and bright. Also are they sealed to retain their brightness? Thanks.
