Well the range hood went
back in today. When we took out the old one it turned out that it never vented
outside…which obviously concerned us. We got a few quotes to install a vent to
the outside but people kept saying how hard it would be to do it as the chimney
is behind and the clay pipe inside could collapse. So we looked into other
options and it turns out you can buy a charcoal filter attachment for the new
range hood that works just as well. We got it and installed it, the only draw
back it that the range is now lower by almost 3” to the stovetop, but luckily it
is still within the allowable distance. Needless to say it is also much better
looking than the old cream one.
The rest of the day was all
tiling the back splash. Don’t you love it when something you think will take 3
hours really takes 8. I chose to alternate rows of white subway tile with rows
of small glass subway tiles. I enjoy tiling so although it was hard on the back,
I did fun doing this.
Tom not so much. He is the
official tile cutter and spent the day running in and out to his wet tile saw
in his lovely outfit. It got pretty cold by the end of the day.
And now we know: creating a
pattern with tile adds a lot of time to the task. Cutting tiny glass tiles on a
wet saw is very challenging.
