    Draw it manually. Everything is under your control with the roofing tools.

    That's what I figured. Just thought I would see if there was an easier way.

    Many thanks.

    ah just a little query,
    where's the chimney?

    since it would appear this is an open fire place with firebrick linings, why would you not extend the fireplace right up with brick to make a chimney?

    in that situation you dont require a roof over it as such!

    Maybe it's a ventless gas fireplace ???

    yeah you could be right, looks a bit nasty though! a bit like a pool pump shed stuck on the side of a house really!
