That looks like a bathroom ventilation fan to extract moisture from

the bathroom. It's mounted in the ceiling in the bathroom? Going out a

soffit vent...


Yeah, that isn't supposed to be, but I've seen it before. Proably not the
worst thing, but I think it's a code violation. Also, maybe it's just the
perspective, but don't those rafters seems kind of far apart? And he
did say it's a tile roof.


I'd be concerned with moisture collecting in the ducts. Pooling in low
spots for potential leaks later.

I can't tell if the duct lines are rigid or flexible. How they are
pitched or why the use a soffit vent for exhaust?
