Question- I have an undercabinet microwave above my range that has a lovely recirc blower. If I wanted to rip this microwave out (we're fine with a small countertop one instead) and put in an actual ducted hood, I'm running into a couple of issues: 1. Do they make ducted undercabinet hoods, or just recirc ones? 2. If so, there's about three feet of open wall on top of the cabinets (vaulted ceiling in the kitchen), do they just run a box duct up along side the wall, or is there a way to run ducting inside of the (normal-sized) wall? 3. Would it be HVAC people that I'd call to do this if I wanted to?

When I bought this house I was so horny to go tankless because the last house I rented had such a poo poo water heater, but this thing puts out enough hot water for two consecutive showers and who needs more than that? Still going strong 10 years later Tangentially, my wife wants a pot filler, which is a decadent useless fixture that I'll get her so I don't have to think of a birthday gift. I can run the PEX to it fairly easy, but that same section of wall is obviously where the 220v line for the stove comes down. Is there some special way to handle this to code? Should I just pony up for a plumber?

I hesitate to ask this, but what does a normal 220v oven hookup look like coming out of the wall? Is it a female outlet that the oven just plugs into? Because mine is a 220v wire just poking out of the drywall and connects to the oven.

Aside from pain-in-rear end factor of install, are there any downsides to using glass subway tiles as backsplash, like these? https://www.lowes.com/pd/Elida-Ceramica-3x12-Super-White-Glass-3-in-x-12-in-Glossy-Glass-Subway-Wall-Tile/1001027586 I'd love to go with a white grout, but I'm worried about discoloration and uneven colors after some years from grease splashes.

I'm putting glass subway tiles over painted drywall. I was all set to get the adhesive when I did a little reading and saw not to use mastic adhesive with glass tiles, to use mortar instead. That's fine, but I can't find a real answer anywhere on whether I need to prime or prep the drywall first for the mortar. Any answers?
