Hi Experts.....I have just done a complete bathroom renovation and put in a new bathroom fan. Everything works great except the fan. It drips water like crazy. So we insulated the metal housing and put a plastic dome and tucted taped it to seal the cold away from it. We also put a few extra bats...

one other note....on the metal fan housing box. Are there any fans out there made of plastic for its housing??? This would likely make more sense?? to put one of those in....Kinda think we should call Hvac co.

We glued insulation to each side put a 'tent' hood over it ( more commonly used for electrical boxes vapor barrier?) tuct tape to seal it in and then buried it with bats of insulation. It should be snug as can be but it still feels cold to touch??? thanks, fb

We are going to pull off the vent on the end of the pipe off and see what it does wide open....The hot shower produces the same amount of steam with the previous original shower. The body sprays and rain shower head have barely been touched. Really don't think the steam has increased with the...

that does make sense......thank-you

Hi Jim, Yes the vent housing has a damper on unit and the vent in the soffit has a damper that opens while the fan operates and closes while its off as to keep the cold air out..... We are a bit perplexed as the old shower produced as much steam and we had a way smaller fan and never seen any...

Ok here is a couple more items that you guys have asked about....The pipe we used was recommended by a local house builder and he said this is all he ever uses??? We went to HD and bought the insulated duct piping which comes all wrapped in insulation and imagine stays nice and toasty in its...

Thank-you for your input....at first this was one of our thoughts but the line does have a nice slope towards the soffit vent....

Hi All....I am perplexed..... Just did a complete reno adding a top of the line shower, body sprays, rain shower head etc etc. The size of the bathroom is approx 40 sqft and half of the space is the shower. So we figured that we should upgrade the fan and we installed a NuTone 110 CFM as we...

I thought so. Best to use one or the other.

I used Super IronOut to clean out my incoming house pipes yesterday as there was still an odor from the iron buildup. Wow does that stuff work. The water from the cold tap is now odor free but the hot is still puking out some nasty smelling black stuff but is is getting better. I mixed some with...

Thanks for the explanation. I will send them an email telling them how I feel about what I consider a very poor business decision on their part.

Could someone please explain how Clack can stop people (Internet Dealers) from selling their softeners? Will you not be able to get them from suppliers unless you are an approved dealer? I smell a black market being created or will that not even be possible??

If you are asking me I agree with you 100%. Ive not seen it at all in this thread in fact the opposite, posters have been very helpful. I like the idea of a Argument sub forum here only separate....:cool:

Wally, I think I am being misunderstood. This board and Gary's are were I didn't find that sort of anti on-line\diy attitude. I was being sarcastic towards those people who take that attitude on other sites on the INTERNET. Before I came to this board I didnt think it was possible to buy and...
