I have to say, this guy is a great balance of "old school just do it" and "don't be a tough guy and do it safe and smart". Super informative, great paced videos and pleasant (sometimes corny but in a funny way) personality. Can't believe my frugal self is contemplating becoming a paid subscription member lol.
Same here 😂
agreed.
hot tub
-Talks about how great outside vent cover is
-Breaks vent cover
-Holds it on for the rest of the shot
😂😂
LMAO. Oh Jeff.
He totally broke that screen
Camera went off....
Jeff was pissed
I should have known better than to play with plastic in the cold.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY It happens. Just something that made me giggle. 😊
I saw that...lol busting the critter screen and trying to keep your hand in place as to just pass it off as you keeping balance. Well played sir! Well played!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭 I came in the comments section just to look for this comment!!!!
Lol I was dying
Was gonna say the same
I look forward to all the little tips you give in your videos. Details like folding the tape end, leaving lots of line, cutting out a diamond shape, and even where to place the exhaust fan make your How To's all the more valuable. And if that isn't enough, I can always watch for the comedy (especially when commenting on California building code requirements). Thanks for the laughs.
Canadian building code requirements: Each dwelling must house at least 1 Somali
Man it’s just a hassle.
Through the window ventilation fan is not that bad. 🤷♂️
Don’t know if it was mentioned but they make an amazing adapter for the vent cap outside. It matches up with the grooves on the siding and looks sooo clean!
As a father myself, I also make very similar dad grunts while I’m working... I also have dad coffee breath and tell dad jokes using my great sense of humour! Lol Thanks for your hard work and informative vids. I appreciate having a reference for home projects.
I bought my first home and it's a fixer upper! I'm learning how to do everything myself, your channel is going to be a Godsend!!
Happy to help Hayley. consider joining the membership program if you need extra help. we do monthly live shows and have a forum where you can post pics and ask me questions. Cheers!
Don't listen to all youtubers. They say it's a good idea to put mastic around the wall vent male piece, then slip the insulated plastic part over it, then clamp it, then foil tape over the insulation outer foil part. Don't quote me on anything i said though.
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!!!
Thank you sir! You're simply amazing!!!
Short sharp down to the point. No time wasted, I love it! 😁👏
Is there an on off switch ?
I’ve watched many videos on this channel and have never commented because I’m usually pressed for time and following the instructions on these videos, but man, what a valuable resource this channel is! 👍
Thanks yo your vid, I upgraded my bathroom fan with the exact model here, and went through successfully. Keep 'em coming!
When I own a house, I suspect quite a few things will make me glad I watched your videos. Have a subscriber!
Hi Jeff you don't have to take the battery out if you push the forward/reverse button slow in either direction it will stop between the gear and it locks the trigger. So it can't be accidently pressed. Great videos. I check them whenever I decide what Im doing next to get tips. Thanks
I had Jeff on the phone today and it was great. I was anxious with my issue now I feel better. Jeff is exactly as you see on the show except he’s tackling your issue. Do it!
Cheers Ian , glad |I could help you with a low cost solution and a better diagnosis than your contractor was giving you. Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY I haven't found how to send you the pics of my roof you told me to send. Did I miss the e mail address somewhere?
Your team got back to me, thanks!
Great video Jeff! I'm renovating my bathroom in a few weeks. These videos have been so helpful and funny. I thought I was the only one that hated Phillips head screws!! Lol! My vote is for the custom hot tub.
Thanks for your video. Appreciate that the install wasn't a 5 min "nothing needs to be adjusted " video. Liked the strapping. I have a non flexible vent coming into my previous fan with minimal lateral movement so I cannot adjust the placement of the housing much. I don't want to move the opening very much so I can avoid doing drywall patching. thanks again!
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.
Yeah this kinda baffled me, by the time you jump back and forth and use 4 different bits I can't imagine it saves that much time, plus the weatherization is easier with a uniform gap from vent to hole.
@@brianbelgard5988have you ever tried cutting through 6 inches of wood with a hole saw? 20 times easier with a sawzall
Must have watched 20 of this guys videos. I have rennovated 3 houses myself but I always learn something new from him every time. Highly recommended!
Glad to help! Cheers Andy!
I very much appreciate your content. I watched this twice then successfully replaced a bathroom fan today. Thanks for providing comprehensive and interesting info!
You're the best. I've done so many home renovations watching your vids. Sure. I've fucked up a couple of times but that's because I'm impatient. For the most part my projects come out great. Thank you
BEST DIY How To channel on UA-cam. Period!
Wow, thanks!
Hands down
Best how to not do it video Channel on the internet.
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.
Plus you can pull the bit out with force without it pulling out of the chuck
I found that using them in reverse prevents binding. It risks unscrewing off the drill, but that's better than all the safety problems binding can cause.
@@deanodebo1380 you sir just have a shitty chick on your drill lol
This could easily be one of the most instructive videos on youtube. That's how it's done!
For any home information, I always come back to your channel. Thank you.
Hi Jeff... Thanks for making all these great videos.. you are such a great guy. Kind and funny too.. one of my favorite videos was the one where you fixed a sagging deck. I loved the steps, basically were 2 frames with the smaller one on top of the other.. so simple, I never would've thought to do it that way.. That is how I am going to build my steps this spring.. Thanks again buddy..
He must be a Republican. They're the nicest people.
He’s Canadian ❤
Very good video. Thank you. The only thing I wasn't really comfortable with is the flex venting in the ceiling. Looks like an easier install but I would be worried about durability. Think I would prefer 4 in ridgid sheet metal.
You've got a great spirit with your work, enjoyable to watch. Cheers, UK.
Edit: You also show some good and bad designs of parts too, and that tape thing, I hate it when people don't off angle it.
Very helpful! Very straight to the point! Learned a lot, thanks!👍🤙
The Bob Ross of home improvement! Great video and very well laid out instructions.
its like you can read my mind and know exactly what im doing next weekend. thats gonna be usefull
Happy to help. Cheers!
My son and I will try. Hoping it goes good
Thank, Jeff! Your videos are so helpful and fun to watch.
This guy has the best DIY videos on UA-cam. Very knowledgeable guy.
As a Californian, I had to pull a permit to watch this video
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.
ah! Somebody get this man a prize! Cheers!
Thanks again for another informational video.
I personally would like to see a Hot Tub build 👍🏻
You have no idea how many times you’ve saved my tail on home projects! Currently redoing my master bath and yea I’ve been on your channel a good bit lately lol 😂
From years of being a lineman I always fold the end of my tape over on itself about an inch. Very nice to have a little handle on your tape itself and on whatever you taped. In case you need to remove it.
-Talks about how great outside vent cover is
-Breaks vent cover
-Holds it on for the rest of the shot
😂😂
Would like to see the "hot tub" project. My wife has been bugging me about that one. LOL
Always a great walk through. Thanks Jeff.
My osteoporosis is gone!! Hallelujah, Thank you Jeff!!
Ah Robertson screws! What a great Canadian invention.
Love them!
Then why not use them ? You don’t have to use the head style that was included.
I asked my wife. We agree that a pool would be great to see. We were planning on building. Our own pool too. 😁👍 I just love the snap and lock / plug n play products. This looks like a top quality / easy installation fan. Great video jeff. Thanks for making it.
cHEERS, THANKS FOR THE VOTE!
Custom hot tube is definitely the way to go. Especially after a long hard days work. Those massaging jets are amazing. Also you you said you'll start in the fall. I cant you using a pool in the fall/winter.
Always enjoy your videos, positive and informative.!!
Nice. The install going outside...was helpful. Stay out of the cold. Cheers, to a job well done.
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,
Great video. Thanks for taking the time to make it. I would like to see the Pool get built.
I love your videos, I’m a working housewife and I love some diy projects it gives me the opportunity to finish my basement with friends or families help without splurging and respect my budget 😊 thank you
He definitely broke the plastic screen on the outside of the house 🤣🤣🤣
no doubt lol
Then he tried to cover it up 😂😂
He shouldn’t have use the drill battery to hammer it in place. 🤣
Lmao and he held it 😂 bet you 5$ he fixed it with caulking
Nice tutorial video, but you should include some shots of the device working, too! Thanks! 👍
Great video - solid detail and explanations. Thanks for posting
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.
That outside cover is going to let the cold air in. There are much better termination caps on the market.
I like your style When you screw up somethings you pretend as nothing happened :))) I always swear a lot:)
I don't crew things up I simply add work to the scope. Cheers!
“We don’t make mistakes,we have happy accidents.” Bob Ross
Thankfully I’m good at hiding my own happy accidents.
Your life isn't editable. My life neither. This job could be a real SOB, working above one's head, drywall that could start calving where the screws are close to the edge, siding which requires more consideration when pushing thru from the inside, and those other fine extras that Murphy can bring to a job.
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.
Those real life cautions said, I watch these vids because they're helpful and I appreciate the time and effort it takes!
Thanks to all involved. Invaluable.
I choose custom hot tub. My reasoning is that it may be more realistic for a DYI person to accomplish single-handedly. Furthermore, it will be something that you can enjoy sooner. I appreciate all the help that you have given. Wish I could get you down here to Seattle to help me with my projects.
Thanks for sharing!
I love watching your videos, very professional and FUNNY. Thanks for all you do.
Needs new title, "how to install a bath exhaust fan AFTER YOU HAVE GUTTED THE BATHROOM".
@Mass Debater apartment?lol why would you touch something you dont own lol. It’s an apartment, and supposed to have bathroom vents in the first place.
right? I am not rich. No way in hell am I gutting my bathroom for a damn fan. I'll just go into the crawl space.
Ya I agree. This video is useless to me because my bathroom is finished
Nobody in this comment section seems to realize the fact that you cant magically run ANYTHING that is supposed to be behind a wall without getting... wait for it... BEHIND the wall. 😱🤯
@@StarsetFlight lol thank you for that realization or is it common sense?? 😂 Lol
I want a pool, who doesn’t? But I wanna see the ‘how tos’ of a hot tub.
Either way, thank you from the mid west!
Do the pool. You have a skill to explain complex concepts in a layman's way. This encourages inexperienced diy non-contractors to take on the project. Few of us have have attempted the pool project, but we All want to 😄
I love my old house. I definitely need one. Thanks for the demo.
10:47 That is some fine looking alligatored lead paint on that home!
MmmmMMM tasty! 🤤
and it shows
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.
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.
Omg the vent broke!!! 😂😂😂 thanks for the awesome videos!
Feels like I'm watching red green but the advice is actually good
I think a custom hot tub is the way to go!
Nice , thanks for the vote. Cheers!
When you vent through the roof, what type of sealant do you like to use? I was told to use a tripolymer sealant. Kind of hard to find at the local big box store.
That is what you want to use
Love your videos! Pure educational and entertainment!
Jeff is addicting to the brain. once you open a video, you can't stop.
As a licensed electrical contractor I give you an A on the electrical portion of your video. You actually connected the ground wire!!!!!!!
Why can’t I love these videos, rather than just like them???!
Love the tips! I've been renovating homes for past 17 years and always learn something new from you! Unfortunately i dont do electrical work because of I'm not certified so only let down is hiring electrician and pay them ridiculous amount of money just to tie in everything to electrical box just to get it all up to code.
First of all, I have been watching for a while now and the thing that got me to press that subscribe button was you quoting one of my favorite red green quotes in your shed build video with the slanted roof and now i can think of when listening to your videos is how you sound so much like what he talks like now and how i want to see more of your content so please keep it up! P/s please do the pool!
didn't see that video but thought the same thing while watching this one.
14:15 breaks the vent cover lol
Would love to know if you have a fan ducting into an attic!
Oh yeah. Time to dril into the roof. Back bathroom has no ductwork front does. Back bathroom got so wet the paint peeled off like latex.
Nice, very common problem from what I am hearing. best timer of year to finish the exhaust installation is early fall, in the morning. There will most likely be a little attic work to do. another few weeks won't make a difference. Cheers!
@Tunefully if you can fun the exhaust through the gable side of the building it will be better than going through the roof. Cheers!
I just installed a light/exhaust fan in my bathroom last weekend Jeff. And yes, I had to sweat it out in the attic. It's toasty warm in my attic here in Mississippi. 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.
Hi Alan you can always tie the light switch to the fan so they work together! Love the idea of the hot tub. Cheers! Way to take one for the team in the hot sun in the attic. #real man!
Great vid man, fun to watch
That’s why it’s so great being a electrician in California. Lol. Love your channel Jeff.
Cheers Jeremy.
@DickEr Down Better safe than sorry!
Why is that?
@@MA-vm6jl because like he said “I magine a lot of you in California will have to hire a electrician to do this.” You get a lot of jobs like that, that are easy, and it’s easy money.
Thanks for making the video, im turning a single car garage into dining and full bath. Will be adding a vent for the bathroom. Like your video cause you show humans make errors, and how to over come them. Thanks again, will be using the knowledge in the next month or so.
Right on. Best of success with your project. Cheers!
Oh, I need a man like this in my life.
Here I am darln
Thanks, very helpful… I have a replacement to do where the original mount point is no longer secure… was wondering if the fan mounted to straps secured only to dry wall ceiling like you did would allow for vibration… but your install looked pretty solid. Thanks again.
great video one can use parts of this for different applications. I have installed fans for years and still learned a thing or two thanks
Good video and good job brother you the best 🎼🎶🎺🌅
Cheers Ramon, Thanks Dude! You are awesome too!
Definitely the pool!
Cheers thanks for the vote!
Such great detailed videos I love them!
Love the catalog, you've gotten me outta many jams mate
Do a hot tub as pools are over rated! You are a funny man that gives quality education.
Thanks Dean, The vote is pretty even right now. Cheers!
You can't use a pool year round where you live. A hot tub can soothe your aching muscles after a hard day's work. I say hot tub.
Man that's a lot of safety first tips from a safety second individual. 😂😂
LOL, there is safety and then there is experience. I like to share mine when it will save an injury. Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Where would you put a bathroom fan in a house with vaulted ceilings and no attic? Also our house is stucco 😖 when we take showers it gets so stuffy and the bathroom is holding way too much moisture! Neither one has a fan!!
@@shellyc530 Do a through-wall exhaust fan.
@@shellyc530 put the fan in the wall.
Get a dehumidifier
Even when I think I know how to do something, I watch your videos and learn a bunch of things- thanks.
I watch your plumbing work video on UA-cam in Taiwan. It looks pretty professional plumber.
I can’t help my ocd I feel the holesaw would have been so much neater. When I did a dryer vent I cut a 4” hole in my double brick wall with a masonry holesaw and it was super sweet and neat.
Eh no one sees it
Those masonry whole saws are stupid expensive
@@Vanilla_Icecream1231 they once were but I have had a good result with cheapo Chinese ones.
blackdatto never new they they sold those
blackdatto in my opinion if your doing this as 1 time thing I would just use a pilot hole and use a the masonry chisel attachment on big hammer drill (makita cordless 18v hammer/rotate/rotary hammer) and maybe an angle grinder with masonry disk.
Loved that California comment lol
I have drafts coming from my under stairs half bath. what a pain to fix. This video is great. I think I am going to upgrade to this fan. I currently have the cheaper smaller version.
Your videos are uber helpful.
Thanks so much for making such a great series. Really love 'em.
My vote is for the custom hot tub as I plan to build one in the spring & don't know where to start.
(If you decide to go w/ the pool idea, then any suggestions for hot tub advice or links you can share would be greatly appreciated.).
Cheers!
Keep these awesome vid.s coming!
I'm serious when I say this. I would be half the carpenter I am today without this man's bald head of confidence allowing me to unlock my final carpenter form. His bald head is not only What will eventually allow me to develop a livelihood, but his bald head is life. Bald is life.
Love all the info but you ever hear of measure twice cut once! lol
Thanks for the helpful tips! I would love to see the custom hot tub. I would build one for my family.
Great video gonna do this sometime when th weather gets nice
So are you going to tell us how much it cost to replace the removable grill of the exaust that you busted with the drill at 14:17? I'm going to guess that you had to buy a whole new unit. And holding it up for the rest of the segment was priceless.
Thanks Daniel, I will be replacing it as soon as i do the new siding. it is all held together now with caulking. Cheers!
Hahaha!!!!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY @Home RenoVision DYI. Ah yes, as someone told me a long time ago, caulk hides a multitude of sins. The sad thing is that my house is full of sins (not of my doing but that of the builder). Sigh.
Hope your family and you stay safe and well.
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? I live in Ottawa, Canada.
"Caulking will fill it" Lol! Good Lord man
Well... yea. Hahaha
The siding will be changed soon.
Wow
Great teaching for basic installation of a fan. I’m planning on doing this for my aunt’s bathroom that’s growing moldy nowadays 😅
Gonna follow up on that basic wiring since it only has one light switch.
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.
Loved the diamond method. When you run out of work on your home you can use my home for your videos.
