Baby wipes. Genius! Great vid. Nice and straight forward.

[@projectlex]

Haha baby wipes are so versatile. Thanks for the kind words

[@justacrochetmum7536]

Had me at ‘waterproofness’

[@La_Vi_]

Great guide. Wonder if rain gets in easily given how open and permeable the vent is?

[@projectlex]

Thanks. It’s designed specifically so no water gets in

[@paniadunn2043]

Nice work!

[@projectlex]

Thank you

[@ausmanpizzaoodie3322]

thanks for confirming that sarking needs to be cut out.

[@ibnuhajarulinnuha6288]

What's a sarking? I am about to install it tomorrow morning 😅

[@mandy623]

Thanks for the info! Super helpful! I only have one whirlybird in my roof but on super windy days it makes a ticking/clicking sound. Is there any reason for that? (Unlikely it’s faulty as it’s very newly installed by a professional)

[@projectlex]

Hi, no problem.
Could be a loose screw or bolt, maybe the bearings?

[@mandy623]

@@projectlex indeed it was a loose bolt! Who could have known such a small piece would cause such big noise! All fixed!

[@projectlex]

That’s great! Super happy you got it sorted. No more noise now!

[@NiTr091]

so the base is only secure by sitting under the tiles on the row above?

[@projectlex]

And by screwing into wooden batten as per video

[@justacrochetmum7536]

Just wondering why the bottom of the whirlybird isn’t slotted into tiles also?

[@projectlex]

Then rain water would be blocked by the tile

[@abowden5079]

I think the dropkick on the dirt bike in that area needs a whirlybird for his air filled head too.

[@projectlex]

Haha. I live semi rural & there’s always an abundance of dirt bikes around

[@MrEmilivanov]

Nice work. What brand is the whirlibird? Thanks

[@projectlex]

Thanks. Bradford Windmaster $174 Bunnings. The process for other brands would be similar if not the exact same.

[@ibnuhajarulinnuha6288]

Will it leaks when not spinning ??

[@projectlex]

No it won’t

[@ibnuhajarulinnuha6288]

​@@projectlexi just installed mine, it doesnt as easy yours, mine looks a little uggly 😅, might want to paint it black.

[@projectlex]

You could paint it the same colour as your roof to blend in or yes black would look good also

[@ibnuhajarulinnuha6288]

@@projectlex thank you, the paint wont disturb the spin right?

[@projectlex]

Give it 2 coats of light even spray paint & no

[@JosueLopezXIX]
