Best Answer

This is possible, but not practical and not needed. More joints equal more problems, because it will be exposed to all the weather elements, the life of the pipe and fittings are reduced, and you dont want bends at the top because eventually, the bend may very well break and when this happens, you dont want the smell drifting around your property. Best solution to the answer, keep the pipe straight and in an upward direction and install a two way vent valve cap. This not only allows the sewer pipe to breath (vent) properly because it keeps the atmospheric pressure inside the sewer line stable of where you live, but also keeps water and critters out as it is a concealed unit.

How small of an opening should a lintel be put in?

It's not a question of opening size but a question of loading over the opening. No load, no lintel. If a 12 inch opening is capped with a 16" block, the block is the lintel. If an opening is between wall studs there is little need for anything that would be called a lintel. Anouther name for a lintel is a header. There is usually some kind of header over an opening. A lintel's size and integrity is determined by the load it will support.

What are the regional differences between the black capped chickadee?

The black capped chickadee is pretty constant in habits and appearance across it's range. The nearly identical Carolina chickadee is found in some areas frequented by the black capped, albeit more southerly in distribution. Somewhat smaller, with less rufus on the sides and less white in the wings, the Carolina will hybridize with the black capped where both birds are found, leading to confusion. The best way to tell the two apart is by voice. The black capped has a clear "chicka dee dee dee, the Carolina's is more hurried and higher pitched. The black capped's call note is a clearly whistled "fee bee ee, where as the Carolina's is a"fee bee, fee bay".
