Tell us what’s happening:

I am trying to put the chimney on top of the house. I believe I have the code right. However it is giving me the text “Your #chimney should have a top value that puts it at the top of your #house.” I can’t see where I have an error in my code.

Your code so far

Hi @MoneyManwill ,

Considering that the chimney’s positioning is relative to the house and the top of the house is at 0, what would the value of chimney’s top need to be to put the bottom of the chimney flush with the top of the house? (Hint: consider the chimney’s height)

Happy coding!

Just figured out what I was doing. Thank you for the tip.

hi @dhess ,
I tried setting my chimney’s top position with relevance to it’s height.. but that just pushed it out of the viewport completely.. (It passed though). In my case.. I find that setting it to smth like -1px leaves it visible which is the out come I was hoping for. What could I be missing ?
