Thanks. This is basically what I ended up doing except I used 2 45s for each 90 (top and bottom) and then connected the two with a straight. Used #8zip screws to secure, metal tape, mastic and then covered with foil backed fiberglass. I used R-38 12in batts in the cavity and on top. Future...

Haha nice Snoonyb. So I got a chance to do a couple of dry runs and not sure if either of them are actually acceptable. I also have a couple of 4in elbows I was thinking could come off the roof too. Thoughts? This would require a short length of straight cut to size

Got the fan installed, wired, and ducts placed to try them out. I ended up doing a 6in rigid run reduced from 4 at the ceiling. There is an L from the ceiling at a 45 tilt, into a 2 foot run into a 45 elbow and then a 90 after to come back to the fan. Meant to take pictures but ran out of time...

Alright got a chance to do some digging after getting home from the holiday. Found a few more sticking points. 1) Roof vent appeared sized large enough from on top of the roof. When I removed the existing duct to check it out from underneath, however, the jack has a metal base with a 4inch...

The fan can utilize 4 or 6. The current setup is uninsulated plastic duct that someone ran straight from the fan to the roof with no elbows and then tied bat insulation around with nylon string.

Thanks for the feedback. I noticed I made a mistake (corrected) and asked if I should keep 6. Meant should I keep 4 or upgrade to 6. The suggestion for creating a guide for the hole is smart. Answers to questions. Fan and light already separated and will keep that way. Bathroom is heated but...

So I am going to install a new fan and duct in a relatively small bath (8x6.5x8.5). I am looking at an 80cfm Panasonic whisper. Currently there is very poorly installed 4inch flexible duct that I plan to replace. Run is about 3 feet horizontal, 90degree and about 5 feet to exhaust out roof...

So assuming it is an add on, how do I tell? Or provide images to help? VanMark water comes out the existing downspout but the sag in the middle is causing overflow there. Joecaption I assume you mean it will cause issues by extending the gutter beyond the shingle edge as Snoonyb suggested?

Thanks for the info about the drops edge, I was kinda wondering about that. I will add it to my list of things to check out when I get up there again. On your second point about the center being higher and potentially creating a problem, can you clarify? My plan was to find the ideal center...

Hey folks, working on restoring the gutters on the house we bought in the last year. Reasons why I feel this is needed are that the gutters have several sags and the slope is dead flat on on 40 foot run with one downspout at one end. My plan is to rehang the gutters so the high point is the...

:agree: Thanks for the idea. Thinking the tracks won't be an option because the ceiling is boxed in the middle of the shower to accommodate piping running perpendicular to the shower entry. Did come across some ceiling mounted bars I am looking info however

This is for our second downstairs bath, which has a window bit no fan (will be putting one in at some point). So ventilation could be lacking. The main reason I. Lpokong at two rods is that 5inch sill I mentioned. Even centered, one curtain will keep moving in or out so the liner does not do...

Hey folks. We have a shower that I want to mount two shower rods (one for liner and other for outer) far enough apart so they clear the 5inch sill at the base, one on each side. The walls are floor to ceiling tile with no grout lines where I want to mount the bars. I do not want to drill into...
