not a Supporting Structure

Generated explanation

The illustration shows a satellite dish mounted on a mast fastened to the exterior chimney of a house. A large red prohibition symbol overlays the dish and chimney, identifying this use of the chimney as an equipment support as improper. The chimney extends above the sloped roof and has two flue openings at its top. Roof vents, a plumbing vent pipe, and an electrical service mast with overhead wires are also visible.
