Yeah, I tried naming the files to help, but then Google Photos doesn’t make it easy to see those.

The first picture is the vent outside. Essentially, the hood fan (inside) exhausts into the top of the metal box that’s in the wall. On the other side of that box, around the middle, is a vent that goes outside. Then there’s just a dead-end area of the metal box where some bugs have collected.

It was built in 2016, but maybe they made some initial mistake. Hopefully that’s not it.

I’m not going to be much help ATM, but I believe there is some Google service that allows you to use “foreign” email addresses to log in to a Google account. What that would mean is that you could move your domains away from Google but then keep the Google accounts based on those domains active.

Anyway, fingers crossed I remember about this and actually find the thing I’m taking about and get back to you later today.
