Another boo-boo

First two pix are of the drop ceiling in the room behind the kitchen a couple of weeks ago. Its purpose was to house the electricals and the duct for the range hood (which exhausts out the laundry room). But when it got built, yuck. Totally killed the feeling of spaciousness near the windows. And far too many planes colliding in the second photo. So we tore it out & moved it to the other side of the room, above what used to be a hallway (third photo). Much less conspicuous and a shorter run for the electricals. Now we have our unobstructed windows back. We'll run the duct without a casing straight back to the laundry & paint it to match the ceiling.
