Smoke rises and goes through those fine even tho their narrow. But rain almost never falls perfectly straight down, so the amount of rain that gets in those three narrow pipes is incredibly minimal.
If the fireplace was still open with the tubes it wouldn’t be an issue what little water might come in would just evaporate.
It’s probably ok. But you usually see that method in Europe or upper east coast America in historic homes.
You’re probably better off asking a neighbor, or if you’re really worried, just call a chimney inspector so you know for sure
Even if there’s no lid, there’s likely a closed flue dampener. A little door in the middle of the chimney.
Although I’d be incredibly surprised if there’s isn’t a capstone that was put on when the lid was taken off. Unless the lid just broke off and was never replaced…
The reason national party leadership keeps propping her up, is because the vast amount of people leading the party is also too old to be in office, or will be before their next term is over.
It’s like wondering why cops never turn on the “bad apples” there’s an unspoken agreement that everyone has everyone’s back. Unless theyre progressive and/or a rising star like Franklin, then their treated worse than republicans because they’re a bigger threat to party leaders who occupy seats that will never go republican
Strangely enough The Strain (a show about vampires) portrayed it very well.
If you were “useful” you could basically sell your soul and help with some part of the extermination of people just like you. When you stopped helping you were killed and replaced.
Modern republicans ignore every subtlety and act like some of them were treated like humans and implying the reason everyone else was brutally executed was because they were worthless.
It’s because a lot of modern republicans openly identify with nazis these days.
“But they create jobs.” Build something else. Schools, parks, trains, housing, etc.
I’ll never get the jobs argument.
Our infrastructure, healthcare, education, housing and about a thousand other things are fucked and would create jobs if we pumped 100s of billions of dollars into solving them.
