On the conventional setups, use 30-pound mono and 40-pound braid with the spinning gear. Top bait is the largest live menhaden in the well. For lure color, Burge is a big fan of chartreuse. Worthy Catch: Little fishing pressure and fish happy to bite mean Burge has the opportunity to hook plenty of tarpon.
First the furnace: The 1/4 slope is for the intake, not the exaust pipe. There is no mention of specific slope requirements for the exaust pipe, other then sloping upwards (there is a drain for the exaust blower comparment in the furnace).
Re: DWV stack height If you were in Michigan, the MRC would apply, P3103.1 Roof extension. All open vent pipes that extend through the roof shall terminate at least 1 foot (305 mm) above the roof, except that if the roof is to be used for any purpose other than weather protection, then the vent extension shall be run not less than 7 feet (2134 mm) above the roof.
