DIY Electrical Kitchen Range Hood Removal

Get rid of that old outdated oven range hood. See the steps on how to do it by watching my DIY Electrical Kitchen Range Hood Removal tutorial. The old oven range hood was a Nutone brand oven range hood. It really needed to be upgraded. Removing the old one and installing the new one was a lot easier than I would have thought. This style is not vented. Meaning, there is no sheet metal ducting going to the outside of the house. This style of range hood just blows it back into the kitchen. Some models have filters on them.

The first step is to shut the power off at the breaker. Ensure the power is off with a good voltage tester as well. Here is a link to a video I made on a good voltage tester used for this purpose: https://youtu.be/F1eoiFjvAO4. After you've verified that the power is off to the range hood, it's time to unscrew the lightbulb that in there and bust out your cordless drill to unscrew the electrical box screw to expose wiring. Couldn't hurt to verify again that the power is off just before touching any wires. Disconnect any the wires coming from the main power. Now unscrew the securing screws from the bottom of the overhead cabinets. Take note of the wiring and colors of wires. Most of them will be white to white, black to black, and then the ground. Now it's time to install the new one.

DIY Dismantled Dell PC Personal Computer Fan Runs Off Headlamp Battery Pack

There is something satisfying about tearing apart a computer and pulling parts out that may have another use. This older dell computer was just asking to be stripped down. It had 3 fans in it and I happened to have a headlamp around. It was a perfect fit for messing around. The fan will run off 3 AA batteries. I don't endorse or recommend Dell. I've had nothing but bad luck with them and they are cheaply Made in China. Fun to tear apart though. I've displayed a few headlamps down below. Every good DIY technician needs a few headlamps around. You can never have too many headlamps on hand. If you really do need to buy a Dell, I recommend that you don't, there IS a link down below to purchase one.
