    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. Nothing is impossible when you set your mind to it. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!

    @tannerc900 Місяць тому

    I love this man’s videos. I actively seek out his videos to see if he’s done a video on whatever project I’m on. His videos are very informative but also heart warming, he’s not macho tuff construction worker persona like a lot of people try to put themselves out to be and he’s just himself but is still very knowledgeable in his field.
    My last house and now my second house both needed exhaust fans and the quotes were ridiculous to have the fan with electrical/hvac installed so I always just end up doing it myself (like most things since everything is so expensive) and this specific video I always love to come back to for a refresher.
    I can’t emphasize enough how much easier it is following his tip on pulling your ductwork from the inside all the way through to the outside to connect your vent then push it back in.. just listen to him and do it that way and save yourself a headache!
    Cheers from Northwestern Ontario!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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,

    Hot tub for sure! I’ve put a few fans in with a gutted bath like this. Here in the US we need to wire the box in before plaster for electrical inspection. Also saves time as the plasterer can plaster leaving the opening.

    • @HomeRenoVisionDIY
      @HomeRenoVisionDIY  5 років тому

      Cheers rick, here all we need is a wire in the right place for rough in. then the fan needs to work on final inspection. a little dumb since most fans are installed without a grommet or proper connections.

    • @buggsy5
      @buggsy5 Рік тому

      You can get a dual switch the same size as a standard single switch or, preferably, replace the single box with an old work dual box.
      If the power goes from your panel to the switch, then the light, then you can use that hot lead to supply both switches easily. If the power goes to the lighting fixture and then has a drop to the light switch, it is slightly more complex.

Still gotta install the duct hose though. Not a problem. My wife still forgets to turn it on anyway. As far as the pool/hot tub question, I'd like to see you install a hot tub. I want to put a hot tub on a deck that I will build shortly. I want to build it with a retractable roof.

      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?
