Vents etc

We were going to reseal the vents prior to resealing the roof. As it turned out, all three vents were busted -- the kind of busted that can't be fixed, like large cracks in the plastic lids, stripped screws, etc. So we went down the road and bought three new ones; got one installed yesterday and will do the other two today.

Got the range hood removed and, boy, does it make a wonderful difference in visual space and headroom and elbow room! Turns out, too, that the hood was an exhaust hood but it was installed without hooking up an external exhaust, so it just blew air around inside -- which is of no use whatsoever. We also took down the curtain track right by the cabover/bed -- another big difference in visual space and headroom. If anyone ever wants to put a curtain back up there (to close the bed off from the living space), they can buy a tension rod.

Now that I'm no longer smoking cigarettes, I may put the smoke detector back up.

The only things left to do (other than mentioned above) is the stove cover rivet, and the window channel.

I'm taking Chuck to lunch today at Los Dos Molinos. Next week is T Day -- hope everyone has a nice one, and I'll be thinking of you.
