the remaking of a kitchen

ladies and gents, we have an exhaust hood, but alas no cooktop. while we are on the subject i should mention that this is the second exhaust hood we have had in our possession, and that when we removed the glass deflector (that you do not see in place at the front edge) we discovered that the little doohickey pin on the right side was broken. possibly something to do with tightening down a metal screw on a plastic connection. sigh. so tonight we journeyed out to guyer's and kurt cannibalized the hood we returned on tuesday and removed the piece we needed. now, the test will be don and/or i being able to stand on our heads to put the blasted thing in place tomorrow. neither of us felt capable this evening. and so it goes.
