My question is: can I sucessfully create a water tight valley with the fireplace stack in the center of the valley? Cannot move the valley up or down to eliminate its current position.

How would YOU recommend framing in the chimney in the valley so water will not leak.

The fireplace will be in the lower quarter of the downhill valley.

Thought of a crickett of sorts or some diverter, but not sure.

Other than verbal explanation, I do better understanding the idea from a drawing or page.

Thanks
Steve
