The hood we are looking at needs to be mounted from the top not the back so I'll need to build a box to attach it to with a hole in the back for electrical.<br />would really appreciate any feedback on the specs you can give me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-36579086553445511262021-10-14T11:58:12.770-04:002021-10-14T11:58:12.770-04:00Wondering how much it cost to build this.

I was able to do something very similar thanks to your generous share! What did you use to fill in the nail holes? Caulk? If so, do you remember what kind? ANd what kind of paint did you end up using? I obviously don't want to use Spray paint in the kitchen... But I want something heat resistant, right? Thanks again for your advice!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-66323535220638609692015-11-10T09:16:29.532-05:002015-11-10T09:16:29.532-05:00I love it!

I just wanted to mention a couple things based on the fact that you said you installed your hood higher than the manufacturer's suggested height range: (1) this may void your warranty for the hood; and (2) depending on your local building code, it may not pass inspection (although most code violations occur when a hood is LOWER, not higher, than the height range recommended by the manufacturer). Just wanted to make sure you took these issues into consideration before you installed your hood!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-50900036702653528482015-11-07T05:03:14.124-05:002015-11-07T05:03:14.124-05:00I kept thinking that hood was way too low and I wo...I kept thinking that hood was way too low and I would constantly bump my head against it.
