Now that I am home and can see the pic on a full size screen, I can see 8" flue pipe on it, so I was sure it was something with the HVAC system.

Prepare to be disappointed again...
Disappointed? I'm thrilled. The mystery is solved. That's exactly what that is.
The mystery now is why they ran a wood stove flue directly up the middle of their living room. It's a good thing that you took a pass. Their design aesthetic is off. [Reply]

Didn't realize Cheyenne's only 90 minutes outside of Denver, even though now I see it's already been mentioned in this thread. That's the way to do it, live where it's relatively quiet and traffic-free, but have all the amenities of a big city close by.... plus all the outdoors stuff you can ever want. And no humidity.
