We have a little bit of a dilemma, but they want to move this cabinet that’s here, here. So that sits right on top of a vent, which I would lay you odds. This used to be the hallway, but anyway, I don't care.

So we're going to cover that vent. What we're going to do is build a box around it and have a vent in the front of the cabinet, which we got the cabinet over here, and we're going to cut the little skinny vent in and build a box in here for the air to blow out to the main house, to the vent on the front and not be trapped underneath the cabinet and not have any heat in the kitchen.

So what I've done is measured from since it's all going to be up against. I measure from the stove and a 17 and a half and won't run on the floor, 17 and a half and 30 and five and a half inches over. I’ll literally pull that vent cover off and I'll put a different vent cover right here.

So right now I'm I said 17 and a half and 30, so so we'll have to build a frame in here so that probably what we'll do is put a two by and screw it together on the backside, maybe at five and a half inches, which would be from the backside here and that'll be the front side of our two by. This thing is pretty rotted.

And this thing's been wet. We'll put screws through here to hold it in place on the two by all the way across. So now, I'm able to run a two by in between here so it'll be sitting flat on the floor and then I'll have the vent hole cut in here and it will blow then theoretically out, which I know will. And then I'll be able to put the cabinet against the wall. That's what we're doing next.

So I keep catching myself, we roll so fast that we don't take you along with us. But anyway, we marked up the sides of the vent that we're going to put in there, or we mark the corners. He's drilling out with a paddle bit, which you can use pretty much anything that you can get a jigsaw bit into or a blade into, and then we'll cut all this out.

He was saying, you can use a Sawzall. You can, but it shakes the cabinet pretty rough. There you go. He's got it in the corners like that. You can go either direction. You.

Right now, we're trying to put in an enclosure and uh, this doesn’t have to look pretty inside there. We just needed to flow air and family's. That didn’t hold either. Fastening everything and then we'll just put some silicone around it just to keep it kind of air tight, getting back. It is second here and the sun is now fitting all. Here, right here. I don't need you. All right, fine. I was just trying to be helpful man.

Now going to put this over. I may just go ahead and fasten it to the wall. It's got a long three inch screw right through there. I can see there’s. Probably the only cabinet in this house that is sturdy. Incase the next stove is an eighth inch bigger.

Yeah. Nothing there? Nothing. Um, going to move that over here. Leave that one there. That’s good. This whole cabinet is about to fall apart? It's been wet so many times. Okay, let's get that top over there. OK. That’s way bigger than the cabinet itself. Yeah, that's what it was over here. But they're going to be happy cause she's got it right next to her stove instead of stove being over here where the refrigerator was. Anyway, now we just got to put this little vent. We need to set it where it'll point upwards ideally, so that you do that, that and put one inside it. Sure, you're going to come in. It’s all above and beyond really what I should be doing. And there it is so that's where the vents going to be coming out. Of course, you need to tilt it a little bit. that one single time.
