Yesterday they finished destroying the bathroom including the ceiling. You can see the lame duct work they had for the bathroom fan. It’s supposed to be a short straight run, not a 25 foot (7.62 meters for any non-English unit people) run of flexible vent tube. They also did more kitchen destruction. Opening up walls, […]
