How to Hang a New Hood in a Kitchen
In this Project you will:
Step 1: Find Spot to Center the Cooktop
Determine the center of the cooktop, then use a plumb bob to find the corresponding spot in the ceiling.
Step 2: Attach the Plywood to the Ceiling
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
Step 3: Screw In the Bolts
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.
