Holy sheep sheet! Did they wrap the b-vent with insulation?
Although it may never cause a problem, I think that broke code.

You get what you paid for
The saying is true. You get what you paid for. Some people aways go with low bidder and this is what you get.
Do it right the first time.

Looks like the plumber was no better. That PVC tie-in should be at 45 degrees to 90.

If they're lucky its single wall vent pipe. Judging by the quality of rest of the work, its probably 30 gauge duct pipe.
