[QUOTE="Fortension, post: 172444, member: 528"] The tricky thing is knowing your limitations. A little knowledge is great and goes a long way, even when contractors are doing the work. Guys in the trades make a surprising number of mistakes. Unfortunately, often you've got to be the supervisor. I focus on learning the things I'll do again, or make sense for me to do. Knowing the theory behind the best practices is a great framework Matt - a couple hints: You want the fan duct to go up and then run downhill a little bit so any condensation from moist air hitting the cold duct runs out of the house rather than back into your new fan. It also looks like your ceiling joists are 2x6s, and you'll want more insulation than you can pack in the joist bays. Maybe I'm wrong, but from the picture it looks like fiberglass in the joist bays. PM if you want to know more. Oh, and wires through the metal knock-out hole is a no-no. Should run them through a clamp. [/QUOTE]
