custom sheet metal exhaust required
due to a screw up by our GC we went to mount the microwave with rear mounted exhaust only to find they not only installed the exhaust in the wrong ‘stud bay’ but that there is a stud directly behind our microwave exhaust…… luckily our microwave can exhaust not only through the rear but also…

luckily our microwave can exhaust not only through the rear but also through the top.
unfortunately i need to find someone to build a small piece of custom sheet metal that takes the exhaust manifold from the top and moves it 45% to the left and then into the hidden roof exhaust one stud bay over.
Anyone have any reccomendations for someone who can build something to my spec in sheet metal?

Gosha, any chance you can remember the name?
and to answer TownouseLady….yep my thoughts exactly their screwup, their problem, lets just say we are having a disagreement over what certain terms in the contract mean.
Overall reasonably happy but there are a few outstanding issues.

I had the same problem.
Had a custom box made for me by a company on McDonald Ave between
Ave X & W. Ask for Misha (his the chief there)
I actually had to draw an exact diagram with measurements.
They made it exactly to specs. and were pretty cheap ($40)
Did the contractor provide plywood behind the drywall (or in lieu of drywall within the cabinet area) in order to attach the cabinets?
If so you can cut out part of the offending stud, and connect from the proper bay-
the upper cabinet and microwave weight will transfer to the ply and adjacent studs. Just back up the existing screws with some heavier gauge. Assuming its not load bearing to any higher floor or roof.
If not you can still achieve the same thing by replacing the drywall behind the microwave with 3/4″ ply, provided you have one continuous stud to screw to and also screw the ply to top and bottom of the cut stud. Even if your cabinets are very heavy -made of melamine- when interconnected and connected to the wall studs the whole cabinet run acts as a beam and if screwed properly will never never budge. Ask anyone who has installed and removed a few dozen of them.

Just curious, why isn’t your GC doing this?
