Micro Hood Vent



The line on the right is at the upper edge of the cabinets and the venting is several inches proud of that line.

On the right side the venting is flanked by a 2x4 and on the left side by the wire for the microhood.
from the face of the current 90 to the front of the wall is approximately 3 inches
The full depth of the wall in nearly 5" thick (the depth of a 2x4, the OSB sheathing, and the sheetrock).


Below is a rough sketch of the proposed periscope.

Sometimes when talking about hanging sheetrock or drywall people simply refer to it as "rocking." Applying the tape and mud is sometimes called "slinging mud." Therefore I can say that I we have been "hanging, rocking, and slinging mud." What fun!!

Waste Tube was still past the wall and will interfere with sheetrock install, but the plumber pulled it back with a metal strap.
