One more project done

Filed under: Home Ownership

Since we moved into our house I’ve never been really liked  the exhaust fan in our bathroom.  It was old, I’m guessing original to the house (ie 30 years old), and loud.

Last week it decided to not work so well.  Even worse than normal. So I decided now’s the time to replace it!  So today we went to Lowe’s and got a new one.  I was worried about how much work it may be.  I read some things online and it looked kind of tough.

But thankfully enough, and due to some measuring before hand, the one we bought was a perfect fit in the old spot.  So after crawling around the attic, finding the stuff, and ripping it out, putting the new one in, I was done!  It wasn’t so bad actually, and only took about an hour and a half or so.  It fit right into the exhaust pipe out of the ceiling, and all is well.

After trying it out it works much better than the other one ever did, and it is pretty quiet.  Not the most quiet, but the super quiet ones were way more expensive and would have required a lot more work.

So that’s just a snap shot of our weekend.  Now it’s time to get ready for bed.  More sleep is in order.
