I downloaded the chimney pot drawings and was sad that my two pots (removed from a Victorian cottage) are not shown. Also, I respectfully would like to add that "octagonal" in the descriptions - that's eight sided - should surely read "hexagonal" - thats six sided, as one of mine is. I will photograph mine and send it in.
