Tell us what’s happening:

During the build of house project i have tried different approaches and searched for different solutions but nothing is working . Everytime I submit for checks it shows error . please review my code if possible and guide me completing the project. the error is on the chimney part as its showing the top value isn’t right i guess. but i have checked for it multiple times and i am sure about the values.

  1. All of the immediate children of the #house should have a position of absolute.

Have you fulfilled this user story?

3

the bottom border of the chimney needs to be in the same place as the top border of the house, maybe you do not have them in the right place

4

I have done that . the error is still there. Here is the error -" 40. Your #chimney should have a top value that puts it at the top of your #house ."

5

did you try changing the top value for the chimney?

6

Please post your updated code so we can take a look.

7

Here is the updated paret of the code "
#chimney{
top: -22.4%; right: 100px;
z-index: -1;
width: 60px;
height: 80px;
background-color: purple;
border: 1px solid black;
}"

8

and how does it go now?

9

still getting the same error .

10

If the heigh of the chimney is 80px how much should you move it up to have the bottom edge line up with the top of your house?

11

-80px towards the top ,if box-sizing is border-box.

12

What happens if you apply that to what you have now?

13

visually its at place but in the checks it fails with the error " Your #chimney should have a top value that puts it at the top of your #house" . i am not getting the reason of this error as i have given top value to the #chimney .i have also tried different units like px ,rem but nothing fixes this issue .

14

you have not tried a value of top that would move it exactly by its height

15

Have you tried giving the top value of your #chimney this value?

16

It worked well finally ! Thanks for the help.

17

Thanks, Robm, it’s worked.

18

I did not have the box-sizing so it failed.

Thanks!!

Glad I could help!!!
