We are replacing an exhaust fan and want to replace the venting. We have been reading about many methods and are getting more confused. There doesn't seem to be one "right" way. So I thought I would ask for your experiences. The flex hose seems to be the most common material. The only drawback...

You are exactly right! Water will get in anywhere it can. We already removed the rotted piece of wood at the bottom and replaced it with a piece of good wood (theres a You Tube video showing how) Then we noticed that the wood piece at the top had some rotted places but had a lot of good...
