You must suffer from 'lack of smell' disease. Or you have never been
in a house where cousin Jamie pooped.

Our two-storey house has a washroom on main floor, and it has no exhaust

winter is too cold.

Why do you need a fan? I have 2 1/2 baths and a fan in each, but I
only use the one in the room where visitors take hot baths or showers.
And when I use some terrible poison, which is a about every 5 years
for one hour.

In the powder room on the main floor, I unplugged the fan and haven't
used it in 24 years. (0ne fan came with a wall switch and I put a
switch for the other fan when I put in a wall light.)

If you insist on putting one in, put in a pull chain switch or a wall
switch, so visitors can turn the damn thing off. I'd rather do my
business or wash my hands in a public bathroom with no fan or a
distant fan than listen to the racket that even quiet home fans make.
The fan is no way to make guests feel at home.

(For the first 36 years of my life in 2 houses and 3 apartments every
bathroom had a window.)
