Got a call from Zach this morning who informed me that our hood was out. The motor had shut down on an overload a couple of weeks ago. I had some reservations about it and was hoping it was going to be fine. For the last two weeks it was fine but today It died. I ended up pulling the motor and then I went and got a new one from the folks that sold us the last one. Dan and I put it in and fired it up. All was good but the rotation was going the wrong way. We smoked out the dining room a bit as we pushed exhaust in instead of pulling it out. So we pulled the motor, changed the wiring for the rotation, reinstalled it and were good to go. There were times when a job like this would have scared me but there really wasn't much to be scared of. Just pulling and replacing. Good to have the experience. Glad we got it done and that it is doing the job.
