If you tee into the other vent line, moisture will also travel to the other fan. Venting into the attic is bad news, mold etc., each one needs it's own external vent.

@chrisnairn7558 Ай бұрын

I totally agree. I would also use insulated exhaust fan tubing, preferably rigid. And also get the other piece of that roof vent.

@tylerfranke619 Ай бұрын

A back draft damper in line would probably also work but agree with the insulated ducting and correct mounting

@jaraalbert Ай бұрын

Dnt feel bad Chet my stepfather was hanging from our attic half body in the attic half body in our dining room we told him to put some plywood on the floor for the same reason that he was going to end up falling through but didn't listen, also we have back draft blockers and have not had any issues with moisture or mold build up in our washrooms exhaust fans

Ya know... I think you did a great job... I grew up on a Ranch. Learned how to run a tractor and drive a Semi @ 8. @ 9 sink electric poles and run telephone and 12.5 Kv electric lines. Built my first house @ 12. Ya know... You're not doing it right if you don't drop parts and screws. The higher you are on a ladder, depends on how important the screws and parts you drop. I've seen men who have built over 200 homes go right through a ceiling. Again, you were awesome... Thank you for being secure enough to show your viewers all the real challenges and how human we all are when doing a DIY project.

My brother and I were insulating and he went through the kitchen ceiling. LOL

@steveadams99708 Ай бұрын

Chet, you need to get each of those exhaust pipes routed to an external vent. Note I wrote each. Do not use a Tee, as the air will backflow to whichever one is not running, thus putting the moist air back into the other bathroom. That needs to be done ASAP! That moisture in the attic is BAD. As for a misstep onto the ceiling, as an electrician in an earlier life, I did several of those... Nothing that can't be fixed. And always remember, anyone who never made a mistake never did ANYTHING.

@agentcrm Ай бұрын

Or add a second fan after the Tee, to suck the air from both bathrooms.

Hi Chet, this is Rosemary. I used to work at a Papermill and do insulation all the time. I just wanted to give you a little tip of information anytime you’re doing insulation take baby powder and put it on your bare skin anyplace and then the fiberglass will not go into your pores bounces right off

If you’re already going to be fishing a wire up why don’t you just go over and fish a wire down to where the switch is now take the cover off enlarge the hole put a double switch box and pull power from one line to the second switch pull a wire up and over ….you’re pulling wires anyway. Never vent to attic! moisture breeds mold!

@edsutherlin473 Ай бұрын

Hey Chet, I did not see any blood. You did not have to go to the emergency room. I would say you had a good day.😊

@jz1340 Ай бұрын

The power is at the switch for the light. Enlarge the switch opening to accommodate a two gang electrical box. Remove the single gang box. Install a 4" x 4" electrical remodel box in the opening. Run the fan wire to the the two gang. Connect the fan to the circuit, then connect that wire to the new switch for the fan. Now secure the two switches to the 4 x 4 box. Presto Chango...done. The vent should discharge in the soffit.

That is your attic vent fan that should be run off of a thermostat in that box that it is connected to so it should be automatic. It is for in the summer to vent the heat out of your attic to help reduce cooling costs and keep the heat down in your attic.

@tomepperson7856 Ай бұрын

The gray box next to the attic ventilation fan is a thermostat. The black screw adjusts the temperature it comes on at. There may be a breaker for it in the main panel or a switch somewhere. The vents on the motor for it need cleaning.

You may not have successfully been able to rig your light together but you did yay! That is a win! Not many people could survive small places, insulation and fishing wires out! That is a WIN!! It’s all about perspective!! Everything that happens in our lives that we think is so awful usually pails into comparison to other people problems which have much worse. So we all have days that overwhelm us but if we make it through them to live another day than we are a winner and thank you Lord because we are way ahead of the game! Y’all got this! Hang on!!

If you are going to be in the house for a while, buy a 4x8 sheet of osb, cut it into 4 sections 2x4 ft. Stick the sections up in the attic, use it to build moveable wailkways and work platforms. Really cutes down on falling thru the ceiling. Admire the try

@robertlucht4657 Ай бұрын

You have an attic fan. Pretty common item. The box you were pointing to is the thermostat that runs that fan. It probably kicks in when the attic temperature hits about 110 degrees. It blows the hot air out so your air conditioner doesnt have to work so much in the summer time. The only problem with not having the vents go directly outside is condensation in the winter.

@paulkelly4959 Ай бұрын

Don’t sweat it Chet! Poop happens. For your vent tubes, it’s preferable to use insulated tubing in an attic (in northern climates) since the humidity will condense and freeze on the inside of the pipe and next shower the warm air will melt the ice in the vent pipe and rain cold water on you. Ask me how I know. 😂 Love the home Reno videos. Jean is a hoot too - “can I get my mom to do this?” 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Chet, don't sweat it man. When you said Big Swede I literally started laughing thinking of him in that attic. He'd have been sprawled on the floor. As for the brother in law, let's just say we would've respected him cause he's your brother in law. Well that's gone now, hope we never meet him. You can cut that tar paper away from the holes from the underside. If that flapper isn't leaking just put up a square hole to round tubing adapter on the underside. Use liquid nails instead of nailing or screwing upward through the roof boards. You did great brother, take care.

@deannelson5187 Ай бұрын

Good job on the bathroom remodel. Don’t sweat the mistakes. My old boss, Bill Carlson back in the 70s said if you don’t make a mistake once in a while you’re not doing enough work! I told him I must be the hardest working SOB that he’s ever known then with all the mistakes that I made.

I can't count the number of times I've laid in itchy blown-in fiberglass insulation! Many electric additions and upgrades! Security camera system install. Chasing a raccoon out of my attic! And all in HOT Houston. It's no fun! But so rewarding when it's done! Probably my favorite electrical addition is the photocell attached to the front porch light. Night time comes, and the light automatically turns on. Sunrise, and it turns off. No more forgetting and leaving it on all day!

Don't worry about messing up, we all do it. Most of us however don't share it on videos. Fixing the crack really isn't that bad, put a 2x4 over it in the attic running with the crack and screw it in from the bottom. It should suck it back together then just a little tape, mud and paint, good as new!

@JBinDC1 Ай бұрын

you should really use the insulated vent pipe for the outlet, in the winter with warm moist air in the pipe, and freezing outside the pipe, condensation will form and make it's way back into the fan

@rickharper1497 Ай бұрын

Be sure to let that fan run at least 20 min after you shower until you can replace the exhaust hose with insulated hose. Sorry about the hall ceiling, happens to the best of us. Fan and light combo looks great!

Nice job Chet. Next time you need to work in the attic bring a box up into the attic to put your parts and tools in. I have lost several tools in the attics I have worked in. Once they slip under the insulation you forget you brought them and trying to go back later and find where you dropped them is terrible.

When I built my house I put an 8:12 pitch roof on it. It's kind of a pain in the butt to walk on the roof but on the bright side there is plenty of room to move around up in the attic. As to stepping on the sheet rock, it's easy to do that will all the insulation up there. You can't see the rafters and kind of have to go by feel. I worry every time I'm in the attic that I'll miss a rafter and step on the sheet rock. Don't beat yourself up over making an easy to make mistake. Everything can be fixed by a good mud/texture guy.

Your attic fan (the one in the roof) looked like it was burned up on the video. Might need to replace that too. In the meantime take your bathroom exhaust fan duct(s) and route them to that attic fan hole. It will minimize humidity in your attic until you can make the proper penetration thru the roof when the weather improves. And since you have to have your drywall guy back to fix your ceiling, run another wire from your shower fan/lite down to the inside wall, just outside the shower. There is an easy way to wire a switch there to control the fan/lite assembly separate from the vanity lite.

@beckyumphrey2626 Ай бұрын

Chet, the tee in the duct will not work without flapper check valves tightly sealed. The air will blow through the path of least resistance so it.will blow from one.bathroom to the other. If both fan seals are tight then only one at a time can be used as the fan will not have enough force.to lift seal against oncoming air. They also make remote Bluetooth fans that require no wiring.
