Home and Auto Possible to wire a bathroom exhaust fan to a ceiling light? - Page 4

Beef Supreme · 09-25-2013, 03:25 PM

There are most likely louvers at both ends of the house in the attic where air can escape. Typically, when people are worried about venting a bathroom fan into an attic, they are worried about moisture and possible mildew. But it isn't really a huge deal.

As far as wether or not you will be able to smell smoke elsewhere in the house...I have no idea.

Yeah Ive been up there and you can see light coming in. I really dont want to cut a hole in my roof to vent it out, if its going to require that much work she can freeze her ass off.

A vent is fairly easy to put in! Here is what I would do!

Buy a high powered 4" fan can and a separate fan speed control switch. Prob easiest to plug the control switch into the wall. Buy a roof jack and some volcom. Also some 4" flex duct. Heck you could even send the flex duct to an opening you can see so it blows it outside and there's no need for a roof vent. 25ft of 4" flex duct is 30$. With variable speed you can clear that room of smoke in seconds!

I also recommend looking at some YouTube how to videos. Homedepot has some videos. With a little research you'll find this is a very simple task. Many options so make a plan and execute.

Well, if she was thinking about quitting, winter would be the time to do it. Just another thing (besides minor reasons like lung cancer and premature death) that can push her toward a healthier lifestyle.

If it's cigarettes then tell her to use an e-cig during the winter months. I don't believe they stink or really put off the smoke, plus it's likely significantly better for her. Probably cheaper than trying to install your own fan and definitely cheaper than an electro-shock induced hospital trip.

If it's not cigs...then have her light a match when she's done....

tell her to quit smoking. Then hand her some skoal. Problem fixed.

Just tell her that you will get estimates on having a quality exhaust fan installed. If she pays for it, you will have it done. If not, take that shit outside

If it's an attached garage I gotta call BS on this. I'd tell her to put on a coat and go into the garage. If she still complains about how cold it is then put a space heater out there for her.

Anyhow, I'm sorry I have to lecture you on this but here goes: by putting a freaking ventilation fan into her closet, you are enabling her self destructive behavior.

grow up man. wear the friggen pants.

if she has to suffer a little because she's well, stupid, so be it.
