Food Cart Project Part XXXV: Hood Installation

I met up with my hood installation guy, Dale Barron, and one of his employees, Israel, this weekend to get the exhaust hood and fan into place. The hood was mounted directly against the wall, into the studs, using angle aluminum:


A hole was then cut into the ceiling through to the roof:


Up on the roof we have the curb, which the fan itself mounts to:


Once the curb was all set up, the hood was pulled back down and the ductwork was welded in:


The hood then went back up, and the ductwork was attached to the curb before mounting the fan:


Here we have the more or less completed cooking wall:


Another view of that, through the service window:


Here's a detail of one of the service window Buddhas:


The next big step, which probably won't happen until the holidays, is getting the electrical work done, and apart from getting the roof canopy into place, that's pretty much the last step before finding a spot in a pod to rent and getting this thing operational.
