    This is exactly what I needed. The information provided is easy to follow. I have the tools, the ladder, and I can work some electricity. I don’t think it’s that hard. Believe it or not, the only part of the project I’m concerned with; it’s the climbing of the ladder. I don’t like climbing, but the truth is; that with your instructions, I can do this. Thanks a lot my friend. I had never worked on anything before, but since COVID; I have been tackling several projects just watching how others do it. You just have to find the right video. Sometimes I have to watch a combination of videos and use their information and their techniques to do the job. I have used an idea from one video and combined with another.

    I've done dozens of these, I just cut with the proper size hole saw from the inside right through the vinyl. You have to pull out the chunk when you get through the first 2x then repeat for the 2nd then continue the cut. And the proper fitting is a siding vent/j block and can be installed after siding is installed. Just a few more minutes of work.

    There _is_ a screw for the electrical cover. There's a hole for it at the bottom. It isn't needed per se, but it might keep the cover from ratting while the fan is running. That's why you had 3 screws at the end. 2 for the fan, 1 for the electrical cover.

    I suggest using an impact driver for those paddle hole bits. Most of those paddle bits have the quick connect built into them like a screw bit so it will go into the impact driver without issue. The impact driver adds a little extra torque to the process and because of the clutch/hammer setup cannot bind and throw your wrist out of wack.

  • @ronh9384
    @ronh9384 4 года назад

    Jeff, something you didn’t mention ( but you did without even thinking about it) was because you are screwing through vinyl siding don’t tighten down your screws on the vent cap as tight as you can get it because you want the vinyl to be able to expand and contract and you want a little caulk behind it. You also kept the vent cap from bending which would cause the louvers to bind and not open and close properly.
    I put a new one in my daughters house a couple of years ago ( the original vented into the attic and had insulation shoved in the vent hose. Can’t believe it didn’t burn up.) and even though the vent hose was insulated it made her bathroom cold (similar winter temperatures as yours) so I put a motorized metal and insulated flapper inline with the vent hose that opened when the fan was turned on and closed when the fan was turned off. It worked great and kept the bathroom warm.
    Thanks for an excellent video.... as always..
    Speaking of fans.... have you done a video about running a duct from a microwave mounted on an interior wall below a cabinet and ducting it through the first floor finished ceiling to an exterior wall without destroying the stomped/textured ceiling???

    I loved the intro. Until now., I didn't know I needed to GUT the bathroom to install a fartfan!
    One thing you could do for the lapped siding and vent is if you have any large pvc pipe, cut a slice of it to fit that bottom gap, caulk with clear silicone or kitchen & bath silicone if the siding is white.
    You didn't use it, but I thought it was you who taught me to cut wire insulation at a 45 and straighten the cutter, which breaks it loose and pushes it out a little.

    Hi Jeff, watching your entire video project is key to learning how you tie the steps together. Flush mounting the bathroom vent to ceiling drywall is way better than mounting to roof trusses pre drywall because of future replacement.Two comments for your wiring. 1,) twist the wires in opposite direction the wire nut will cinch down better. 2,) wrap the wire nuts with electrical tape, from the bottom of the wire nut to the wires. Neither my recommendations are required, just recommended. Thanks,

    Canadians are so danged nice. Fix-it guys tend to intimidate me cause so many of them are condescending and gruff (I'm female not that it should matter). This guy is laid back, sweet and quirky/funny and great at explaining details instead of assuming all his viewers already understand such details. He makes it actually look kinda fun.
    I have a 1916 house and need a fan in an upstairs finished original bathroom. There's an attic above but the main area of attic (directly above bathroom) is finished. The dormers in attic are on both sides and begin about 5-7 feet to either side of the bathroom interior walls, but again above). The bathroom isn't very big and the window is sort of in the center. Clawfoot tub to right of window and toilet to left of window.
    Questions:
    1. I don't want to lower the ceiling. How weird is it to add a fan and just frame in only the duct work?
    2. Is the next best (or more appropriate) option to open up only as much of the ceiling as is necessary to gain access and try to drill soffits through beams if blocking the way to the exterior wall - assuming there's even enough height between the two floors - and then patch up the ceiling after?
    3. Why can't the exit of the vent be above the window? Cause the fan being on might make it rattle? Can the fan be in center of room but vent be over in a corner, farther from the window?
    4. Our antique ceiling light is in the center of the room. Can a fan be directly over the shower (in our case clawfoot tub with shower ring)?
    5. If we have to drill soffits through several beams (3 or 4 2x6s maybe?) won't that compromise the integrity of the house's structure? Years ago a guy cut the attic rafters from the finished portion in the center, keeping the ends of the rafters in place (seen in the unfinished dormers) and ever since finding out I've been worried our house will be more at risk if an earthquake! 😬
    Can we put a fan directly in the exterior wall??!
    Thanks so much! Subscribed!

      Also, he had a short ladder and worked above his head on that ext vent with a recip saw, all kinds possibilities for wicked bad luck from Murphy.

    Dude, I used a 4.5 inch hole saw and cut it all the way thru the wood, plastic siding and everything, no problem. When the center bit went thru siding i went outside and used that hole to drill back towards the inside, put the duct in and had a perfect fit.

We use trim screws to attach to metal studs. Star, Square, Allen head screws. I prefer the different screw heads vs Philips. In the past 4 years I have used over 250 Philip screw bits, they just wear out. other screw bits, maybe 8.

      Are there any precautions to take in order to avoid packing down the loose insulation. My attic has 10-12 inches of loose rockwool. I want to reroute my bathroom fan which means I will need to move around, likely packing down this stuff, thereby reducing the effective R-value. Should I just blow more insulation on top once done?

    Future Video Idea:
    Would be nice to see a video where a full bathroom is installed in a house that has an unfinished attic space that will be converted to a master bedroom with a full bathroom. Running sewer drain lines to the home's main stack located in the basement, along with water lines, toilet, etc.
    I am sure there are quite a few home owners who have a house that has an unfinished attic that offers a lot of potential, along with increasing the value of the home (I am one of them).
    A video like that would be very helpful for viewers and would generate a large number of views and possibly expand your subscriber base to make it worth your time.
