There is nothing going down the chimney from above the lead.

Look under the lead. It isn't doing anything. Get a picture of the

the lead. So what he has there is a big shallow pool draining into the
fireplace.

and just how the F do you know that then einstein?

which picture shows what's under the lead?

Presumptive? No. Aggressive yes and an idiot at times.
