Measuring 3-2-10

Measuring 3-2-10

I just wanted to verify this;
if I was measuring an existing chimney to an adjacent roof deck, would it make sense to go down 2 feet then out 10?

Yes, but ...

Wow..nice job. Didnt know you were an artist too.
So in your photo, the chimney is short correct? Assuming the 10' mark is correct. ( Lets just say it is for S&G )
