Materials: ventilation hood for installation over a peninsula or island
plumb bob
drill/driver
scrap plywood
screws
lag bolts Steps: 1. Determine the center of the cooktop, then use a plumb bob to find the corresponding spot in the ceiling. 2. Make a nailer by cutting a piece of plywood a little larger than the mounting bracket for the hood. Determine the center of the piece of plywood, and drill a hole through it. Attach the plywood to the ceiling with screws, lining up the center hole with the center mark. 3. Mark the locations of the lag bolts on the nailer. Screw the lag bolts about 3/4 of the way into the nailer. Slide the bracket onto the lag bolts, and tighten them up. Resources vent hood
