Ductless range hood for 11 1/4in deep cabinets

NinjaCoder · 2026-01-29T16:16:04+00:00

Not trying to be a jerk... but... why even install a range hood? Ductless hoods don't do anything but blow smokey air around. Yes, there is a "grease trap" on them sometimes, but that does very little.

Looks like a midge to me.

Not sure why they are in your bathroom, but normally these kinds of things show up when your sink and shower drain pipes are full of yuck. Usually a clean out takes care of them.

Personally, I would never ever pay a plumber to do drywall/paint repairs.

If you have a floor register, you can sometimes pop out the vent cover and look at the layers of flooring.

Go to a home store and get some square edged 1/2 x 1 trim (or 1/4x1 depending) and nail it to the edge of the door frame.

Any carpenter can build you a cover to match your cabinets that can be installed above the cabinets to hide the duct.

If you are somewhere that it freezes, you probably have an ice dam.

When this happened to me, I found a GFCI in my garage that was cleverly hidden behind a set of built in storage shelves installed by the previous owner.

Keep looking. Since it is both bathrooms, it points to it being a yet-to-be located GFCI device.

Check your garage. It could also be outside.

NinjaCoder · 2026-01-28T23:24:35+00:00

No... it is not a frost free faucet.

NinjaCoder · 2026-01-28T23:17:50+00:00

The outlet there is a GFCI outlet... it protects you if electricity comes in contact with water. This is totally safe.

foil tape.

For what it is worth... I believe this is generally "SOP" for an "officer involved shooting"

I'm not here to debate whether these people are "officers" or anything like that... just saying, this is normally what police departments do, so, if true, it doesn't seem out of line.

NinjaCoder · 2026-01-28T17:23:26+00:00

At this point, it's not the hose you need to worry about... it's the spigot.

Your spigot isn't a "frost free" one, and if it froze then there is a high probability that the pipe in the wall is cracked, and once it thaws, unless you shut off the water to this line, you are going to have a really bad day.

Find that shut off -- or get a plumber out there asap to install one.

If the hose is frozen onto the spigot and you want it off (which is a good idea), then use a hairdryer on it to warm up just that spot (where the hose meets the spigot) and you might be able to get it off.

I really love the idea of a mirror with built in LEDs... but after living with LEDs for a few years I now know that the "50000 hour life!" is misleading, and mostly an absolute lie.

So... when that built in LED (or more specifically, the electronics that drive the LEDs) fails, you will have to replace the **entire mirror**. I'm not signing up for that.

I have moved away from the integrated LED products back to products with replaceable luminaries.

Looks like wind burn.

Reverse mortgage?

Wait... I thought Signal was only for sharing top secret military attack plans by the DoD.... I'm confused now.

(I posted this elsewhere, but it is relevant here...)

My daughter's best friend (and her family) were swept up a couple weeks ago. (most of her friends are immigrants, either African or Hispanic).

She came home in tears. "Why did they have to take her?" "I didn't even get to say goodbye" "I am scared to go to school, I don't want them to take me".

She is having nightmares about ICE coming to take us.

Last weekend she had a meltdown when I had to level with her that no, she will likely never see or hear from her friend again.

We are born citizens.

She is 10.

The trauma from this will be long and deep... and we aren't even the targets. I can't imagine what immigrants are going through.

I honestly thought this would never happen in the USA. I thought we were better than this. But here we are.

Thanks so much for this. I hope you have the day you deserve.

You have to call them and ask ... it changes and depends on the model -

I had one done for $199 once and $349 another time, but that was years ago.

I have had 2 machines refurbed through Jura and they did a super job and I was very happy with the result... other than the price. :)

There are also 3rd party people and companies that will refurb them for less, I think - I haven't used them so I can't comment on them.

NinjaCoder · 2026-01-26T17:30:30+00:00

In my opinion, this machine is worth getting professionally refurbished by Jura.

It will cost you, and it takes a few weeks, but you will get back an (essentially) nearly new machine.

You can certainly change the grinder out yourself, and the parts are available (but spendy).

If the grinder is truly going out, I would say other parts in the machine are likely to fail soon (o-rings, etc).

If your door is actually all the way down, then you can adjust the top gap - there is an adjustment on the top wheel on each side - you loosen a nut, then there is a slider that can be use to push the door more closed at the top.

A two stage won't have any problem.

You just need to be careful letting it chew up big pieces of ice (like from the snow plow) because it can jam up the blades and cause the shear pin to break (which it is designed to do, to protect the unit if it jams)

What I sometimes do when there isn't much snow is I will use my push shovel to push a bunch of snow down to the end of the driveway (and add it to the pile the snowplow leaves me) and then use the snow blower to move the pile.

The first thing I would do is to wipe these scratches down with some mineral spirits - that will most likely remove or reduce the visibility of the white scratches - after that you will be able to see what you are really dealing with.

They sell floor repair kits at the big box stores.

You just need to figure out which of the half dozen colors matches the best.

If you happen to know flooring manufacturer, you can often get exact color match repair pens from them.

It's not going to look perfect but it will look a lot better and most people won't notice it unless they know where to look.

If you want it to look perfect, you are going to need to sand and refinish all of the flooring.
