Steve started on thursday by attempting to cut a hole in the ceiling to run the vent hood’s ducting. As luck would have it, he finds two 2×12 beams running directly in the spot where the vent hood duct should be run. So he stops cutting through them until he can see the dimensions of the vent hood. That way, he can cut through the 2×12 to the right extent. I call up Arnold’s appliance and they tell me the vent hood is “in transit” and should “arrive any day now”. So the ceiling is partly town down until we get further details. In the meantime, Steve starts patching up the other areas of the ceiling that used to house the old light fixtures.

Flooring has also been started today. The utility room flooring is complete and kitchen is partway done. Pantries have been nailed to the wall and fridge is now sliding in and out of its slot very smoothly over the new floor. Even I can move the fridge now.
