HJ, could you enlighten me? Curious to know what you have. I still have some time before I am going to tackle this; the weather has turned hot here for some strange reason, been pretty cool all summer. Enjoying it while I can.

The reason I was considering tying them in was because of the years that we get heavy snow, the small vent may get plugged or frosted over for a period of time; I thought that tying in to the bigger vent would take care of that? I figured it would be better to go straight up with the 3" rather...

thanks jadnashua, I guess I was hoping to leave the 1 1/2, but it makes sense to take it out.

so you are saying to take out the 1 1/2, or could I leave it and tie the two in? thanks

I have a 1 1/2" vent protruding thru my roof now, have added a 3" vent with a bath remodel that is waiting to be finished capped in the attic. My original plan was to tie both of these in together and run thru the roof in the existing hole, it would mean a 5' horizontal run with the 3". I am...

Its been 28 years of retraining, I don't think I am going to get any further than I am now; doing a trade is out of the question, she is the devil I know.

Spoke with one of the local lumberyards about laminate flooring in the bathroom, and was told that in order to use it in the bathroom, it would have to be glued on the top side of the tongue on each piece to keep water from penetrating the flooring. I also talked to a friend who installed...

My bathroom project is coming along well, and soon will be getting to the point of deciding what kind of flooring to put in. Wife doesn't want ceramic tile in the whole bath; I plan on tiling the toilet area though. We have thought about the 12" vinyl tile, but worried about all the seams. Is...

I still have one unanswered question, if you could help. I don't expect anyone to know why, but maybe you have run into this before. When installing the new breaker for the bath, I checked the circuit for the living room, and it does have a ground wire, but none of the receptacles do. Could it...

ok, so I guess that I can run the extension with 12 gauge, but code says that I have to put in a gfi outlet. Any comments on these-- How important is a ground on a lighting circuit? My living room has the same situation; is there anything inherently bad about no ground wire. What seems...

I have question about a lighting circuit in my house. It is an older 2 wire 15 amp with no ground. I want to add one receptacle to this circuit to be located on the wall outside of the bathroom since I have everything in the bath opened up for a remodel. This circuit will also serve two light...

I think I have decided that I am going to order the panasonic fan, and a dehumidistat as you guys are recommending. The picture shows where I plan on installing the fan--it will be an extremely short run to the outside; this is the rim joist that is circled. From what I have read about...

Yes, the one side where I originally was going to install the duct is the outside wall. I had considered a wall fan, but that isn't working out. The bath is 10 x 13, and I had wanted to mount the fan in the center of the room. I am putting a soffit in over the vanity area (which is on the...

Well, at least I know that I can't go out thru the bathroom wall, the 20 foot run looks like the only option. I am hoping to keep the pipe within the joist cavity for the run, but depends on where the outlet is on the fan itself. I have another 3 inches or so below the joists in the next room...

almost forgot, planning on buying a panasonic fan, any recommendations where to buy from? Thinking about buying from Westside Wholesale on the net, not a lot of options for buying where I live.
