He's at it again.....


Hubby and DIY!
He had now got the carpet up and doors off in the girls' room (used to be Daughter's room but now R & E's room).


 

The problem
Since building the new kitchen there was always his little nagging thought that the cooker hood was a bit noisier than it should be.

The plan
To take up the carpet and floorboards above the cooker hood and see what can be done.
 
The solution
To adjust the concertina pipe inside and add some insulation around it to eliminate vibration and muffle the sound.
 
The result
Definitely a bit quieter extraction, especially if you happen to be in bed while someone else is cooking  ;o)
 
The bonus
A happy chappy for a little while..............he's off to play with the pond pump filter today!

I love a productive hubby! M is not an initiator. Mind you, he wouldn't notice increased noise either. Did he do all that in just the one day?

Actually less than a day as Daughter and children came over so lots of interruptions. He is a total initiator and hates sitting still, also a bit tricky to live with ;-)
