I try to avoid home improvement, whenever possible. Oh, it’s not that I’m not good at it, it’s just that I loathe the run up and the teardown. The 3 minimum trips to Home Despot don’t make it a lot easier. <\/p>\n
Today’s project is a much-needed bathroom vent fan. Since getting the dog, we can’t leave the bathroom door open after a shower to let out the steam- so paint is peeling, and the whole deal is subject to mildew. <\/p>\n
The first trouble was finding the eave vent. Not many people make them and few stores stock them. The way the house is constructed I can’t use a wall vent and there’s no way I’m going to invite trouble by cutting a hole in the roof. <\/p>\n
I finally found a decent vent that will do thje job nicely, and hopefully prevent the entry of any squirrels into the attic. Now I just have to install the fan and shrink myself down to 1\/8 scale to sneak the duct from the fan to the eave vent. And then very carefully disconnect the existing wires and re-run them in new non-self disintegrating rubber BX. <\/p>\n
Wish me luck. <\/p>\n
Update: I’m ALREADY on trip three, and I haven’t got a hole cut yet. Not a good sign. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
