Mysterious Wiring

The action continues in our kitchen at the Chateau. The electrician and the plumber have visited. The electrician has put all the new wiring in and many a mysterious cable now emanates from the 'Beirut after the mortar attack' decorated walls. The plumber has installed a larger gas line to cope with our soon-to-be-installed industrial-strentgh cook top. What is best though is that the world's most useless and ineffective kitchen exhaust fan has now been ripped out of the wall leaving a relatively welcome hole instead. The fan actually was very good at extraction. It extracted fat from the air which it then collected on its blades. Once enough had been stored up it would then bleed down the wall in 'Amityville Horror' rivulets. I may go out to the skip, find the old exhaust fan and give it a few swift kicks tonight.
