How to fish this?
I’ve got a 30” deep 7x14” cavity I need to get an insulated duct into.
The vent hood has like an 8” throat. If not for the cantilever, I just attach my flex duct from the inside. But I believe I have to attach the rigid hood throat and fish it through this void.
I have some ideas, but feel like a virgin hoping to find his first hole in the dark. Thought I’d ask what y’all do?
I (42m 🇺🇸) met her (33f 🇷🇺) on a language exchange in August ‘25, 10 days in Moscow in November ‘25; filled out I-129F, “just in case”. Officially proposed in Istanbul January ‘26.
April ‘26 met in Rome, 6 days. Then 2 days Lisbon, then 2 days Amsterdam. We scheduled this trip so she could establish a good relationship with Italy she will need to apply for another visa to Schengen when it’s time for her visa interview.
I recognize how fortunate we are; that we get to see each other so much. I know many don’t. But it’s still just 18 days this year.
I don’t care that we’re in Italy. I’d rather spend 10 days in Europe playing cards in our underwear like we did in Moscow. I’m not saying we didn’t see the typical tourist spots, but we had NONE of the day to day shit I think is important during this time. It was go go go go go, and a lot of times I felt invisible. Like I went for her, and she went for Italy.
To me this time is incredibly precious. We will never get back this limbo, but I also want data on what it’s like to coexist with this woman, and not in a crowd at the Vatican.
I guess I just want to hear that I’m being unreasonable. That she should want to treat a vacation like a vacation and that’s it. Because I’m starting to feel like if I got the “you have 18 days to live” prognosis and we happened to be in Paris, I’d be spending my last days queuing for a selfie at the Arc de Triomphe
