If you tee into the other vent line, moisture will also travel to the other fan. Venting into the attic is bad news, mold etc., each one needs it's own external vent.
I totally agree. I would also use insulated exhaust fan tubing, preferably rigid. And also get the other piece of that roof vent.
A back draft damper in line would probably also work but agree with the insulated ducting and correct mounting
Dnt feel bad Chet my stepfather was hanging from our attic half body in the attic half body in our dining room we told him to put some plywood on the floor for the same reason that he was going to end up falling through but didn't listen, also we have back draft blockers and have not had any issues with moisture or mold build up in our washrooms exhaust fans
I didn’t think you were sposed to put the vent directly above the shower but I dunno
Put it on a GFCI circuit
You know what Chet DIY home remodel has its ups and downs, crap happens you live and learn. Don't let it get to you too much.
Chet, you need to get each of those exhaust pipes routed to an external vent. Note I wrote each. Do not use a Tee, as the air will backflow to whichever one is not running, thus putting the moist air back into the other bathroom. That needs to be done ASAP! That moisture in the attic is BAD.
As for a misstep onto the ceiling, as an electrician in an earlier life, I did several of those... Nothing that can't be fixed. And always remember, anyone who never made a mistake never did ANYTHING.
Or add a second fan after the Tee, to suck the air from both bathrooms.
The power is at the switch for the light. Enlarge the switch opening to accommodate a two gang electrical box. Remove the single gang box. Install a 4" x 4" electrical remodel box in the opening. Run the fan wire to the the two gang. Connect the fan to the circuit, then connect that wire to the new switch for the fan. Now secure the two switches to the 4 x 4 box. Presto Chango...done.
The vent should discharge in the soffit.
DUDE YOUR JUST TRYING TO MAKE HIM CLIMB BACK INTO THAT MISERABLE ATTICE, STOP IT
@@zerodarkthirty180 But extra visits to the attic mean extra video's.
Duplex switch. Two switches, one box.
You are assuming the neutral is in the original sw. box. It may not be.
Hi Chet, this is Rosemary. I used to work at a Papermill and do insulation all the time. I just wanted to give you a little tip of information anytime you’re doing insulation take baby powder and put it on your bare skin anyplace and then the fiberglass will not go into your pores bounces right off
Great tip!
Thanks I did not know that
Wow thanks!! I never heard of that solution that’s a game changer!!! That’s such a great idea thanks again.
Be grateful that you didn't fall thru the ceiling and it's just a little repair. Nice job well done
One day you will have a beautiful home by the lake
Do not panic.
The only people that don’t make mistakes are those that don’t do anything.
👍👍👍
Chet needs a hug!😊
Hey Chet,
I did not see any blood. You did not have to go to the emergency room. I would say you had a good day.😊
That is your attic vent fan that should be run off of a thermostat in that box that it is connected to so it should be automatic. It is for in the summer to vent the heat out of your attic to help reduce cooling costs and keep the heat down in your attic.
Also clean the build up off the motor housing!
😲😲a DYI gone wrong? As a newly wed Couple you "survived" and worked this out. BRAVO! This is a testament as to how future "projects" will turn out. 👍👍😎😎✝✝
We Learn More from our Mistakes! Power On Farmer's! IN OUR DNA 😂❤😂
Ya know... I think you did a great job... I grew up on a Ranch. Learned how to run a tractor and drive a Semi @ 8. @ 9 sink electric poles and run telephone and 12.5 Kv electric lines. Built my first house @ 12. Ya know... You're not doing it right if you don't drop parts and screws. The higher you are on a ladder, depends on how important the screws and parts you drop. I've seen men who have built over 200 homes go right through a ceiling. Again, you were awesome... Thank you for being secure enough to show your viewers all the real challenges and how human we all are when doing a DIY project.
The gray box next to the attic ventilation fan is a thermostat. The black screw adjusts the temperature it comes on at. There may be a breaker for it in the main panel or a switch somewhere. The vents on the motor for it need cleaning.
Thank you Chet. I miss this kind of content since Nicole. Thanks again
GFCI breaker needs to be installed if there is not one there already. Your doing great there are 100s of ways to complete a job. But always remember safety is number 1. Wearing you mask is very important glad you did that. I often fail in that department. 😢Thanks for being a good example for all of us.
My brother in law fell through the ceiling during our kitchen remodel. No big deal, crap happens. Thanks for the video.
If you’re already going to be fishing a wire up why don’t you just go over and fish a wire down to where the switch is now take the cover off enlarge the hole put a double switch box and pull power from one line to the second switch pull a wire up and over ….you’re pulling wires anyway.
Never vent to attic! moisture breeds mold!
It's not a true project unless at least 3 trips to the hardware store are completed. You are doing well. Keep you chin up and keep going! You are making memories building a home! You will not remember what went right but you will always remember what went wrong! No one was hurt and it can be repaired. Great work!
Yep been there done that. Found the same thing in my attic fan install. Your doing fine. Projects never go as planned😅
Three trips in the SAME DAY, if you are ME !!! LOL
Nice job, however, the bath fan should be GFI protected.
Love it, two videos in 1 day
Was just about to comment this
Don’t sweat it Chet! Poop happens.
For your vent tubes, it’s preferable to use insulated tubing in an attic (in northern climates) since the humidity will condense and freeze on the inside of the pipe and next shower the warm air will melt the ice in the vent pipe and rain cold water on you. Ask me how I know. 😂
Love the home Reno videos. Jean is a hoot too - “can I get my mom to do this?”
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
My brother and I were insulating and he went through the kitchen ceiling. LOL
Good luck! Hang in there. Thank you for sharing.
You guys are awesome,,I love watching you take care of business. Keep your tech inthe wind.
Thank you Chet for sharing, love watching the renovations well done.
Love the home DIY video Chet!
Really respect your positive attitude throughout all the setbacks.
That old DIY is such fun! Great job and video.
You are out there making it happen! Yes, lots to learn just keep going. You’ll be fine. Proud of you. Welcome to the boot through the ceiling club.
It's all good stuff happens. Just keep pushing forward. Love, see all your guys Content.
Keep up the great work Chet and more house videos please
Thank you Chet for the video!
Great attitude, Chet! Love the remodel video…the Larsons crew’s attitude is what keeps me coming back.
I just love you guys and its nice you let us follow along
It will give you something to talk about in the future.You are not the only one with things like that, that's life.
Thanks for showing your human side. Better luck next time! House looks remodeled great!👍👍👍
Good job Chet!! No worries, a year from now both of you will chuckle about the great bathroom fan installation!!!
Good for you, Chet for doing all the work.
Love the remodel.videos. Jean is a sweetheart. House looks amazing. The pups look pretty spoiled too. :)
Like to see the Big Swede get into the attic, great job. Love your go to attitude. People that don’t make mistakes don’t do anything.
If you are going to be in the house for a while, buy a 4x8 sheet of osb, cut it into 4 sections 2x4 ft. Stick the sections up in the attic, use it to build moveable wailkways and work platforms. Really cutes down on falling thru the ceiling. Admire the try
You are really a trooper, Chet! You persevered until you got it done, even after having to improvise for missing parts. At least you didn't fall all the way through the ceiling! It's fixable & you didn't get hurt, except your pride.😉 The house we bought & lived in for over 47 years was built in 1955 & went until 2021 before it had an exhaust fan in the bathroom. Never had any problems with moisture or mold. Good job!
You got it. Chet. Adapt and over come. When all parts not included. Love your content. God Bless
Chet and wife great job thank you for sharing and you time can't wait for next video
Chet great video. Shows your
skills. Jean showed she is always on your side.
Seeing your attic just made me feel at home. Been an electrician for years. Spent a lot of time in attics.
Always entertaining whether it be farming or home projects.
VERY, VERY difficult remodel project that you made look so much easier than it was. WELL DONE young man !
Your house looks great ❤❤
By the way, your personal comments are classic. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Great video Chet
You have an attic fan. Pretty common item. The box you were pointing to is the thermostat that runs that fan. It probably kicks in when the attic temperature hits about 110 degrees. It blows the hot air out so your air conditioner doesnt have to work so much in the summer time. The only problem with not having the vents go directly outside is condensation in the winter.
Great effort at the fan & light. Seems a low pitch roof and extremely difficult to work at edge, Thanks for the laughs and honesty. Keep remodeling.
Nice job with the light installation, Your a good man, Chet!
Chet you work hard and save a lot of money doing things yourself. Glad you didn't get hurt. The exhaust fan turned out really nice.
Jean you are the best fur baby mom ever I just love seeing them in the window you’re the best!
Just be thankful you didn’t get hurt I had a fall 3 years ago and still have not been able to work since things can go bad really easy you’re young be safe
Love the content, Sorry for the ceiling mishap but it happens. Jean is so supportive and was so nice not to rub it in when the mishap happened, yet another sign of a great wife. You both can laugh about it another day. Thank you for the home video. Great as always. Please keep it up.
Chet,excellent editing and setting the YT tone. Home repairs and remodeling were never my personal goals and I have had four homes to challenge my skills and patience. That bathroom pipe vent in the attic, I have struggled with twice before and we have all fallen through the ceilings while stressed out in the attic! I always blamed on having to wear those damn dust masks!
I enjoyed a different kind of video and introduction of Mom.
Thank you
Nice job Chet looks great.
Yes!! Good job!! Very Interesting and Helpful!! We have the same project to do!! Love you all!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Nice humbling job !
Nice seeing your remodeling projects. Great seeing your beautiful wife helping out too.
I can't count the number of times I've laid in itchy blown-in fiberglass insulation! Many electric additions and upgrades! Security camera system install. Chasing a raccoon out of my attic! And all in HOT Houston. It's no fun! But so rewarding when it's done!
Probably my favorite electrical addition is the photocell attached to the front porch light. Night time comes, and the light automatically turns on. Sunrise, and it turns off. No more forgetting and leaving it on all day!
Just almost finish our remodel .I hear ya bud don't let it get you down .
I did the same thing when i was about 25 or 30. Hang in there buddy. The fan looks great. good job
Good work Chet!
Good video brings back memories. I must of been 12 helping my dad string wire in an attic, slipped and fell in between the rafters to the floor below. Now I’m extra cautious when working in attic.
One thing to remember, we have all been there. Oops is going to happen. Smile & keep going
Good luck to you & your wife during your reno, you will be very proud when done
Love your videos and been a subscriber for a few years. You have a great crew and you need to tell us how you came about Swede and Brodie and their families and your relationship with them. God bless all you guys and keep the great videos coming 👍🙏
Not to bring up a sad subject but it's a good memory.
I remember when we watched, loved and laughted at your first remodel videos with Nikki. That was a big job but the rooms turned out really nice.
You are a much better carpenter than I am. Keep at it, things will get done. 😀
Stuff happens, did a great job Chet with the install
Oh, lordy this brings back some memories. Had a shower vent come loose and caused mold in the attic. I also managed to crack the ceiling, one wrong step. Not to mention a few nails to the head in the attic. I wish you the best on this project.
Chet you are learning so many things to avoid when you guys finally built your dream home on your new property. Wish you the best.
Maybe he will move to the farm and take over Merlin's house once grandma and grandpa are gone.
Welcome to life this is all the things we have all come across ! I have 110 year old house ! Live in it for 45 years ! We have and old saying home moaner ! Keep up the faith !😊
Been there done that!! The fan install looks good.
I think you done an awesome job considering ALL the things that could have went wrong! You could have fallen all the way through the ceiling but you didn’t do it so Yay that is a
WIN! You may not have successfully been able to rig your light together but you did yay! That is a win! Not many people could survive small places, insulation and fishing wires out! That is a WIN!! It’s all about perspective!! Everything that happens in our lives that we think is so awful usually pails into comparison to other people problems which have much worse. So we all have days that overwhelm us but if we make it through them to live another day than we are a winner and thank you Lord because we are way ahead of the game! Y’all got this! Hang on!!
Chet you can put 2 switches in a single box like you have there one for light one for fan, the only difference is they toggle side ways rather than up and down works awesome for refits
Good on you for doing it!! You saved yourself so much money and you learnt something new. Never give a man heck who tries!
LIKE ALWAYS A GREAT VIDEO, I WATCH EVERYONE OF YOUR VIDEOS, GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY
Great Video !! Your Human, it happens to all of us! You have done more right than wrong in my book, So just keep moving. Cheer Up
Thanks for a great video Chet.
It was interesting and I have to say a bit of the struggle bus type things.
First of all Chet, you are doing just fine. Don’t worry about the ceiling. Things like that happen. It is fixable so please don’t worry about it. I have done things like that myself. Just have your man come and retape it and put it back as new.
The exhaust fan and light in that bathroom is very nice. You did a great job with it. Nice work.
When you remodel a house you always run into unexpected problems. Hang in there. You are doing great.
Once again, please don’t worry about your ceiling. It is fixable. Things happen.
Thanks Chet.
The Iowa farm boy. Steve.
Digging the remodel videos. Was helping my cousin put ply wood in his attic for access to his air handler and he fell completely thru the ceiling into his son’s crib. No one was hurt. After words I laughed so hard. Crap happens tho.
the struggle bus lol, you are doing an awesome job, nice seeing Jean
Hi Chet, Patrick here from NJ, your not alone with the ceiling crack, I did the exact same thing in my hall ceiling attempting to install an a.c. duct. No one would ever know that I cracked the ceiling now. lol. We have almost the same style house and hallway. You did a great job, I really like the style of the fan. Job well done.
Chet, you are amazing
Good job on the bathroom remodel. Don’t sweat the mistakes. My old boss, Bill Carlson back in the 70s said if you don’t make a mistake once in a while you’re not doing enough work! I told him I must be the hardest working SOB that he’s ever known then with all the mistakes that I made.
Chet looks Beautiful good job
Fan-light looks good!
Love the Larson DIY home projects, such drama!
Installing bathroom fans into older homes that never had them is a serious pain in the ass.. I did two of them and I pray they never quit because I am not going back into the attic to change them if they do. Good job and glad you found that other vent not connected to the outside.
When Jean asked if this was a joke. I lost it! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
She’s funnier than she thinks she is😂
Always enjoy your videos. Continued success. Be safe. Be well. Victor :)
Chet, don't worry about putting a foot wrong in the arris space. You didn't go through, you just bent the boards. In my old house, we had lath & plaster ceilings. Which were fine until you had to drill out foe wires etc. Then if it went wrong you had to redo the whole ceiling as most of the laths would break and or strip the plaster off them which would fall down sometimes in a complete sheet... You didn't do something nobody else had ever done!!!! You're human and you learn form your mistakes (hopefully). Apart from that everything else looks to be fine, WELL DONE SIR. Thanks for taking us with you, it makes a change to see another side of your life. Not that we don't know quite a bit, those of us that have been here for a few years. Thanks from UK.
PHUNNY, LIFE BE! THANKS FOR SHARING, YOUR JOURNEY! ❤😂😂❤
Chet your doing a great job
Missing hardware, I bought an ash vacuum which was missing the main filter to the motor. First time vacuuming the pellet stove it blew ash thru the exhaust and blew the motor on the vacuum. You did a great job, keep smiling.
Thanks for not cutting that out of your film. You’re awesome.
You are teaching as you go. Thank you!
DIY is a wonderful thing that will bring you joy and a sense of accomplishment .... that’s the sales pitch. The truth ... it will bring you headaches and added work. Take it from one that has remodeled two homes in his life. I have put in two kitchens, three bathrooms, landscaped, and the list goes on. You need to approach it with a sense of humor, a good hardware store, tile store, electrical supply house and plumbing store .... don’t do it with the big box stores stay local and stay small with suppliers.
Don’t vent into the attic, also each fan should have its own vent. Good luck ... keep smiling.
May God continue to Bless you and yours!
