My microwave died, ended up buying a nice used zephyr range hood and fan, but need to diy install.
I have a brick facade: 1 layer of brick external wall, in front of board and a stud wall.
Going with direct exhaust, out back of zephyr, 4x10 rectangular fitting: was able to get damper and screws from zephyr.
Of course, when I cut away drywall in kitchen, I have a stud 1/3 of the way through, not going to redesign kitchen, so will cut stud: ya I know, but rest of wall is solid !
I need to remove about 4 bricks for external vent cap: what a pita!!!!
Learning as I go, getting the proper motar raking tools, my respect for masonry workers has gone way up!
My raking drill bits (diamond), and circular saw blade were not long enough, so haven’t been able to cut bricks away from motar.
Just ordered 2 new 4 inch drills , no one locally had them, so Amazon to the rescue: back at it tomorrow .
