WARNING . . . . .GRANDMA IS NOT A HAPPY CAMPER!



This is morning after spending a couple of hours outside cleaning, raking, chopping, tree trimming, breathing dust, I decided to install a new kitchen hood.

My house is pure misery in the summer, especially the kitchen.  I need to make several types of bread in prep for teaching on Saturday.  I just couldn't stand the thought of all that heat in the kitchen. . . . .
1.  One last look at the current condition . . . . .




2.  Oh, there are a few wires to disconnect, yes I flipped the breaker . . . .  . . . dig deep for that ground wire . . . . . . .








3.  "O"  marks the spot to cut a hole.






4.  Couldn't get the saw in to cut the hole, so removed the whole cupboard.  Did I mention the cupboards on either side was holding that cupboard up and together?  You should see the rest of the kitchen and dining room.  It needed help but now . . . YIKES!
5.   So eleven hours later, this is what I have.  What can I say?  It's a gift . . . .

So it's off to the store to get little "L" brackets, longer wood screws to add a heavier bottom to the cupboard, and beginning again.

May I say, in a really lousy mood?!?!?!?  Arrrggghhh!
