Hoodini
Back in this post I vented (no pun intended) about a few road blocks Pavlo and I had confronted during this kitchen renovation. Not only was the wrong range delivered to us (which has yet to be resolved), but after installing the gorgeous 18″ hood and then removing the remainder of it’s padding and protection, we discovered it was dented. From the looks of things it was probably dropped but since we didn’t notice it until after installation, there was little we could do other then try to fix it.
Ironically we had left as much of the protection on it as was possible so that during installation we wouldn’t accidentally damage it ourselves!
Before attempting to fix the dent ourselves we decided to consult someone who works daily with sheet metal – Brian, our HVAC installer. He already had a meeting set up with Pavlo to run through a few aspects of our new HVAC system so while he was at the house Pavlo asked him to take a look at the hood. We were hoping he could give us a safe (aka, low risk) and effective way of fixing the dent but he actually did one better, he fixed it for us!
It still needs a good cleaning, but it looks a great deal better!
Now back to finding a solution to our range situation.
