![]() I took a deep breath, and said, “I’m listening.” I told him it was 1200 CBMs and he said, “Oh, you don’t need one with that many CBMs.” Please play that back in your head with the most absolutely misogynistic Eastern North Carolina accent you can conjure. He asked me how many CBMs my hood was going to have. I called him to get a quote on installing ducting in our kitchen for a range hood. (Speaking of which) Quick story: When I was researching hoods, I had the most appalling experience with an HVAC tradesman. I usually get the most powerful ANYTHING that is offered, just to be sure. ![]() Even though adding a hood that is anything over 400 CBMs requires an air exchange system, it is absolutely worth it. If I want to cook hibachi and make three-foot high flames, the hood better be able to handle it. It must be able to do whatever I want it to do.(We are doing a mix of copper sheet backsplash with sealed marble tile, METAL UPPER CABINETS, and a copper hood. If you’re cooking so professionally that you need one of those gigantic hoods that you have to keep the cat away from (lest they are sucked into the intake like a runaway tornado) don’t you think you might risk some cabinet scorching? What about grease splatter? There shouldn’t be ANYTHING THAT CAN GET BURNED within the surround. Use materials that can’t get scorched.I recommend AT LEAST 24 inches of countertop on either side of the surround- we’re going with 30 a side. Seriously, the enclosures I see where it’s only the stove would in no way be conducive to actual cooking (but they sure are pretty). I absolutely must have counterspace on either side of the range.These spaces must be both beautiful and functional, so I have a few rules: Read: the maternal-Zen-zone from which location you create foods made of pure love and chubby mom sweat. Even if theirs are a bit more understated than their more extravagant American counterparts, the idea is the same:Ī command post, at the center of the kitchen, from which you rule your house: where you sing to obnoxiously loud mom music and shout back at kids from across the house “I can’t hear you” as you prepare something you weren’t sure what it was going to be until you started adding ingredients (or on rare occasions, trying to follow a recipe). Please see full disclosure at the end of the post.Īnyway, have you seen all of those delicious British kitchens? Well, they’ve had this figured out for… well, I think forever. That is the worst ever possible solution to sucking smoky air out of your house and is honestly something builders like because it’s cheap and easy. ![]() Also see: “why bother” in the dictionary. We were living in a kitchen with AN UNVENTED microwave over the stove. Having a kitchen hood vent is imperative for people who actually cook. Since I have smoked the house out searing steak on a weekly basis for the last decade, I already knew that we needed a kitchen exhaust fan, or more specifically, a rangehood. As I have been researching the perfect forever kitchen for the last five years (who am I kidding, it’s been more like forty) I absolutely fell in love with the concept of rangehood surrounds. However, the pace of said renovation gives me the time to make sure that EVERY detail is correct. We are in the middle of a kitchen renovation, which is sure to last through the next century (the renovation part, I mean).

![]() In this section, we will explore the various causes of refrigerant leaks, including wear and tear of components, corrosion, and poor installation or maintenance. Not only can these leaks affect the performance of your AC, but they can also harm the environment. One of the most common issues with air conditioning systems is refrigerant leaks. A helpful tip is to proactively schedule annual maintenance visits to check for refrigerant leaks and ensure optimal system performance. It is crucial to regularly maintain and inspect the system to ensure proper refrigerant levels and prevent leaks, which can result in reduced cooling performance and higher energy costs. There are various types of refrigerants used in air conditioners, such as R-410A and R-22, each with their own unique properties and environmental impact. Without refrigerant, an air conditioner would not be able to effectively cool the air. Its main function is to absorb heat from the indoor air and release it outside, enabling the system to provide cool air. Refrigerant is an essential element in air conditioning systems as it plays a crucial role in the cooling process. What is Refrigerant and its Importance in Air Conditioning Systems? In this article, we will discuss the importance of addressing refrigerant leaks and how they can affect your AC’s performance and the environment. Are you worried about the health of your air conditioning system and the environment? Refrigerant leaks can have a significant impact on both. ![]() Install a 30-amp double-pole breaker on the circuit, then push the ends of the red and black wires into the ports on the breaker. Attach a cable clamp to the hole and thread the wires through it. Remove the front panel from the circuit box and punch out the pre-cut knockout on the side of the box. Strip the outer coating off of the last 1-2 feet (30-61 cm) of the end of the cable that will attach to the circuit box, then strip ½ inch (1.3 cm) of insulation off of the ends of each of the wires. Push the wires and outlet into the outlet box and secure them in place with screws, then screw on the outlet faceplate. Secure the black and red wires into the two unlabeled slots. Feed the end of the white wire into the slot with the neutral screw on the back of the outlet, and the green wire into the slot with the ground screw. Use a wire stripper to remove 1 foot (30 cm) of the coating on the outside of the cable to expose the wires inside, then strip ½ inch (1.3 cm) of the insulation off the end of each wire. ![]() Push the outlet box into the hole and screw it in securely, then pull about 1 foot (30 cm) of the cable out through the hole in the box. Use a fish tape to thread the cable through the wall between the hole you made for the outlet box and the hole you made near the circuit breaker. Run a rigid metal electrical conduit from the side of the breaker box to the hole you drilled and attach it to the wall with conduit straps every 1-2 feet (30-61 cm). Drill a hole in the wall near the circuit breaker box that’s about 1 inch (2.5 cm) wider than the diameter of the cable. Measure the shortest route between the outlet box and your circuit breaker, then cut a 10/4 cable so that it’s 2-3 feet (61-91 cm) longer than the distance you measured. Next, use a drywall saw to cut out a hole in the right size and shape for the outlet box you want to install. To wire a 220V outlet, first switch off power at the main circuit breaker. ![]() The slow States trended pretty much constantly.Īt the same time, Supernatural was also nearing the end of its incredibly long run, too. The trends were politics-related for days.

Global politics continued to beat a heavy war drum across the world. Our controversial president was up for re-election. We were ten months into a global pandemic. In November 2020, the world was a bit of a mess. Destiel Fandom, Putin, and President Joe Biden Feel free to leave your favorites in the comments! Let’s celebrate what this platform meant to us. I’m highlighting my six favorite moments, but I’m not in every fandom and (despite how it may appear) have not been on the bird app every hour of every day. (Or is that just me?) But overall, we typically had a pretty good time and had some truly incredible moments. And we’ve questioned our chosen fandom choices on more than one occasion. Getting your fandom to trend things, whether on accident or on purpose, has been a delightful thing to be a part of over the years. None of these options will be quite the same as Twitter though. It’s sad to see everyone scatter, but that’s the reality of it right now. Some are headed off to Instagram or TikTok. Needless to say, our fandom hangout is drastically changing. Since Elon Musk took over as Twitter CEO, hatred has flourished, moderation teams have been fired, and engineers have chosen to resign instead of working for his controversial Twitter 2.0. ![]() Not even if it truly dies off and disappears into the annals of Internet history.

![]() There is a Regal Edwards movie theater at UTC with 6 screens and was recently remodeled with recliner seats. Frequented by UCI students and locals, I’ve been to UTC countless times to get boba at Cha for Tea (their hot almond milk tea at 80% sweetness is chefs kiss), Korean-inspired food at California Gogi, and late night, cheap-ish sushi at Del Sushi. Just north from UCI, across Campus drive is the University Town Center, more commonly referred to as UTC by anteaters. Can you see a trend with this list? Haha. I recommend walking around Inner Ring Road (which is the circumference of Aldrich Park) or Ring Road (for a better look at the buildings and architecture). The majority of campus is a big circle, and at the center of it, a circular Aldrich Park. I am definitely no expert when it comes to their campus, but I have walked around it a couple of times, and I think it is absolutely lovely! Similar to Irvine itself, the campus is super clean, green, and modern. I did not attend UCI, but I have some family and friends who did and loved their college experience. UCI (University of California, Irvine) is one of the 9 UC campuses in California (justice for UCSF because it’s not included). Reserve a movie time and explore UCI before or after the showing.

The park was nice though!Īnd in all seriousness, prom as much as it was chaotic, it was certainly memorable, and therefore, special. I remember standing there awkwardly in front of the lake with my best friends directly to the left and right of me and these other people who apparently went to my high school. Third, while I went with my best friends, I didn’t know half the people in my group! Second, we arrived 2 hours late to prom, with only an hour left to dance after pictures. Sorry not sorry! Mason Park was actually where we had our prom group pictures taken! And if I had one word to describe prom, it’d be “messy.” If I had multiple words to describe prom, it’d be “a sh*t show.”įirst off, the park was waaaay in the opposite direction from the prom venue, so our party bus (with two stripper poles, boners, and millions of teenage germs) took us on a major detour.

Over the past 8 years, I have come to appreciate all the nuances of this Orange County suburb. However, that is not to say Irvine is devoid of fun.
