To Re-Route or Not To Re-Route?


We need to ask the reader a question.
What do we do here?
I have an electrical line that I want to re-route to the upper window sill.
Here is the pic.

I want to drill through all of the 2X4 planks and route the electricity down through the upper sill and put lighting just above the sink this way. Is this a bad idea? What might I run into? I feel like it should be fine as long as I don't electricitize myself.

I have a drill fully capable of this work.

Next, we have a ventilation system that ran just above the microwave to vent the countertop range.
The new range will move over to the right about 2 feet. But the vent is in the wrong place here.


What do I do? Do I even need ventilation?

  1. ventilation is nice when you stir-fry a lot, i would think...

    i use the fan above my stove _a lot_ because i have the disturbing tendencies to:
    a) turn the fire up to high
    b) forget that i have the fire on
    c) forget that i'm cooking at all in the first place.

    maybe not everyone needs ventilation. well, maybe not in the kitchen. there are certain other rooms in the house where i'd assume EVERYONE needs ventilation. ;)
