One thing I'm starting to learn the hard way (now that my wife is selling
real estate) more buyers are requesting home inspections ...and some
communities are requiring it ...before they buy. Inspectors are finding
things the current occupants have juryrigged. Sometimes if the list is long
enough, it kills the deal. Other times the seller has to have the stuff
corrected. I'm lucky I haven't done a lot of these kinds of things (but
have done a few) but it sure opened my eyes. I'm tending to do things the
right way lately. Just a caution.

I'll probably get yelled at for this, but I just put in a bathroom vent
fan, and in my attic I have 2 roof vents plus an electric whole house
attic fan that vents through the top (about 18" in diameter). Rather
than cut another hole in my roof, I ran rigid 4" duct from the
bathroom fan to just under where the attic fan is ( about 8 feet total
duct). So far its working great. I know this is still not the right
way, but at least I routed the vent close to where the opening in the
roof is. Some people just let the fan vent in the attic, and letting it
gradually find its way to the vent in the roof.
