    above stove microwave venting

    Unless it is incredibly thin I don't see how it would fit in the filter slot with the metal grease filter.

    above stove microwave venting

    I decided to tear into this today and took the microwave down. I wasn't prepared for what I found. The rear vent at the wall is indeed a 3.5 x 10. However, the vent on the back side of the microwave is much smaller. About 2 x 8. Also, I noticed the flapper on back didn't open all the way...

    above stove microwave venting

    Thanks for your replies. I didn't change the motor around that I remember. I did have to move a cover from the rear vent opening and put it on top where there was an opening. I'll check the installation manual again (I put this in a year ago). I'm sure the transition is the correct size. It...

    I'm planning on relocating my kitchen sink from a corner to about 50" further down the wall. My question is what to do about the vent. The current vent is on the outside wall and goes straight up to the roof. Nothing else is connected to the drain system in this area. Would I be able to run...

    Options to heat/cool a glassed in porch

    I have a screened porch that I enclosed. It has a cement floor with no access underneath (filled with sand). the porch is attached to our den. Needless to say it is cold in the winter, hot in the summer. What options would I have to make this area more climate controlled? I don't have enough...

    Need new heat pump

    I have a gas furnace with an outside ac unit (Bryant) that is nearing 19 years old. The upstairs unit (Heat pump only) went out last winter and I replace both the outside unit and inside air exchange handler. I purchased a Payne unit upstairs but I'm beginning to wonder if that was a smart...
