Duct work
Over the weekend we installed new duct-work for a range hood. The old vent - literally just a vent to a shaft that leads (hopefully) up to the roof where a fan pulls air up and out. Because we are the furthest away from the fan, this vent doesn't do much for us. To improve ventilation and get rid of the smoke and smell when we cook, we're installing a range hood to help push the air out. So we sealed up the old vent opening, and attached a 6" flexible duct above the ceiling level which snakes over to the range side of the kitchen.
