But there are no lawyers on this forum… this is an engineering forum.

Under common law, no.
The house was not in any use.
The house belonged to john, and he has the right to blow it up if he wants.

The only exception is if he did this to collect insurance money, which he would be prosecuted with arson, and insurance fraud.

Comment on Exhaust for Kitchen? by Huero

Some exhaust hoods that recirculate the air after filtering can be made to exhaust to the outdoors. This would involve cutting a hole through the wall directly behind the exhaust hood or installing some metal ductwork to exhaust it upwards (though the cabinet). Another alternative is to install an exhaust fan in the sidewall near the cooking range. Most appliance stores have installers that can do this type of retrofit. Ask them to give you an estimate. Or ask your builder if he can help you out. Good luck.

Those exhaust fans have an “activated carbon filter” that catch the oil vapor. The carbon does need to be changed once in awhile. Ask at a store that sells the things…for more info and write up material. It works in mine and I cook alot of asian.

At no offense to your alarm shop people; you should maybe take a peak inside and make sure all conditions are solid, because if it was going on to off, off to on - then it would be telling the car that someone it possibly ’stealing’ it and shuts the computer down for a long, unknown period of time.

If this is about a factory car alarm, it could be interfaced with someone close, if perhaps you are driving a popular car!

Again factory, and you have had something changed or modified; often times, it will trigger a factory ‘anti-theft’ sensor, again shutting the car down for long periods of time.

To conclude, if it is not a factory alarm, you maybe got some bad product, or a sensor is misplaced/damaged.

If factory set alarm system - you need to go to your local dealship shop (hopefully under your warranty) to have the system reset. Most small mechanic shops will not have that passcode information that they set when the car was ‘born’

It would be nice if the manufacturer of the immobilizer gave the owner instructions as to how to override it with a security code or something. Check the internet website if there is one. Make sure your car battery is good (get a new one if it’s over 4 years old) and clean the battery cable connections too as in the video below. That’s good to do anyways no matter what the problem.

most kitchen exhaust fans will either filter some of the smells and oils and just send the air back out-recirculate and filter the air , and some you can convert to have then vent directly outside

i recommend you get one that vents directly outside , and one that is very quiet , they measure the sound in sones , the lower the number the better

the better ones cost more but are worth it as they are very quiet and exhaust a lot of air so the smells do not stay in the house

you can usually make a deal with your builder to add a exhaust fan at this stage of the build , the sooner the better to get it aded as they need to run a power line to the exhaust fan

most exhaust fans are over the range or stove , this is the best place

your builder can tell you if they can add the vent hood with out to much problem if they want to -some builber are bone heads to deal with , most are great , they will charge you more for this added work and you or they will have to get all the parts

most good home centers like home depot will have all the parts you need to do the job

don`t be cheap on the model , good ones that make less noise cost more and your family will love the quiet one and some models have lights on then to help you see what you are cooking

hope this helps chris
