Saw a chimney in Denver with a metal cap that was totally wrong for the flue size
I was visiting my sister in Denver last month and her neighbor had a new metal chimney cap installed. It looked nice, but it was way too small for the 8x13 clay tile flue. The installer left a full inch gap on two sides, which basically invites birds and rain right in. I pointed it out to the homeowner and he had no idea, said the guy who put it on 'seemed to know what he was doing'. How do people get away with this kind of sloppy work? What's the worst fit issue you've seen on a job you didn't do?

Slapping mesh on it reminds me of my landlord's duct tape fix for a leaky gutter.
