once all the framing was complete it was (finally) time to start installing some of the more exciting mechanical aspects of the house. its pretty much impossible for me to say that i didn't got a bit, perhaps a lot, overboard on the kitchen, but... i do like to cook and it's one aspect of the house that i just couldn't cut any corners on. so, i got a 42" stainless steel hood that needed some specific blocking in order to be hung properly and an 1100 CFM in-line blower that needed to be mounted in the attic before the drywall and insulation were started. you can see it pictured above hanging from the roof rafters. its hanging so that it won't vibrate the ceiling and cause unnecessary noise in the kitchen/great room.
here you can see it looking up from the soon to be kitchen area. like i said, it was not fun for me to hang this thing....but it will be worth it someday.
