Once again, Victor arrives bright and early at 7:45 this morning. Steve’s estimated completion is by tomorrow, Friday July 13. He thinks he will wait to patch up the ceiling until the vent hood is installed. Rest of the work he thinks will be completed.

Arnold’s appliance has been diligent about keeping me updated on the status of the vent hood. It appears that the distributor is giving them the runaround by continuing to say that the hood is “in transit”, whatever that means. Steve suggests that he will return to complete the job, once the hood arrives. In the meantime, I’ll have to use the stove with the kitchen windows and patio door open for ventilation.

I just got a call from Steve@Arnold’s telling me that the vent hood is arriving this morning and the distributor has guaranteed him. It will be available for pickup on saturday. I’ll believe it when I see the unit.
