Newbie question about a 4db antenna

Hi,

New to the forum and learning allot.

First here is my TVfool results:

http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...1349d4aa50fe0c

As it looks like I will only be able to get UHF channels I was going to use a DB4 antenna. To save money and because I just think it is cool I would like to build it myself.
I am building a DB4 antenna using 7 inch whiskers on 5.25 inch centers (plans off the internet).
I live in a 2 story wood framed house with vinyl siding.
There are tall trees directly North of my house.
The TV is located in the downstairs South West corner of the house.
Will I be able to mount my antenna in the living room, or in the attic?

If I have to I can mount it on my chimney and have only a 30 or 40 foot run to the boob tube. If so how high above the roof line should I mount it?

Should I use a reflector and point this North East?

Thanks for any help or advice I can get.

Rob
