      Thanks! Yea it's just a 50 cfm motor if you want more flow your probably going to change out the fan to something bigger. But that's awesome, utube is a powerful tool!

    That's how jobs go.... when it comes to bathroom fans I buy 2 at a time of thr whole units just in case I need to replace it or bent shafts (or banging head over troublesome parts). It seemed like you could have taken a osslating tool out and cut it out and at least it wouldn't be so rusty. Half the time when you get into it your thinking at what point should I have replaced it instead of fighting the old one. Watch I'll start rattling in a month due to that bracket or something you didn't replace. I'm happy to see you back and something besides draining the snake lol.
    If your ever in the area I'd love to see you and Ray tag team a flip or some cool collaboration. I know if I'm ever in thr area I'd want to meet up with either of you guys!

    Anytime I see something with that grill and the people aren't cheap clients it's time for a panasonic humidity/motion fan. Even in the apartments we work on we replace them with panasonics and take the switch off thr wall for mildew control. If people don't have the option to turn it off at least it may stay less moldy. Fyi the panasonics even at 160 cfm ones are super quiet so no excuses.

    Obviously I can't see it as good as being there, but it looks as if somebody set a hot curling iron on the toilet seat, and it melted through the top part of it. I'm a retired service manager and have seen that a lot, especially with the small vanities. People would set their curling iron it on the lid, and it would cause the same type of damage. They would also burn up the formica vanity, I've gone into some units where there were a dozen burn mark lines on it.

  • @bigscout1584
    @bigscout1584 Před 4 měsíci

    Ok. Couple of quick tips. On the spacing for the bracket I would have put a flat washer on the two bracket hold down bolts and as for the center bolt if you notice the fin direction you could put a small screw driver or pick in the fin and hold the bolt down to screw the nut on. I also would have took a brush and knocked the knock down out of the fan box especially around the outlet not to mention the outside of the grill.

    I'm not done watching the video yet. But I, as someone who cleans air ducts, hates to see painted covers, where you have to cut the paint or caulking. It has and won't be the last time the paint or ceiling has broken off also around the covers. Another thing I hate is when the ducts are not attached to the ceiling from above. And you go to put the cover back and the whole duct moves.

    First thing we do when we buy a rental, is rip out those old crap fans and put in the Panasonics. We have some Panasonic fans which are 12 yrs running now, not a single one has needed repair or replacement.

  • @TheFatesLieutenant
    @TheFatesLieutenant Před 4 měsíci

    Aye, “Shortcuts make long delays…”. I’ve done two different things in the case of a tight fit like that - thin washers between the bracket and the motor, or drill a small hole in the bracket where it binds (if messing with the bracket itself doesn’t clear it).

    • @throttlebottle5906
      @throttlebottle5906 Před 4 měsíci +1

      I can say I've had les than ten whole replacement go well in 25+ years and multiple hundreds of fans. something always happens, duct is screwed too well or falls apart away from the fan, they've rigged it to only blow into the soffit area, without any proper vent termination, you moving the fan knocks the poorly installed soffit loose(third floor, need 40' ladder).
      wire entrance in different location and doesn't reach, no vent at all!
      a non-shyster cannot un-see and hack things back in once found, the homeowners never like the bad news and hearing the repair will cost ten fold now and possibly a week in total.
      it's often best to "let sleeping dogs lie", vs. "opening the huge can of worms".

    the big line in toilet seat is either from rough lid/tank edge and wiggling person on the seat(but maybe using personal products "juicer "(big clive) 🤪🤪
    or random things causing wiggling on the seat(shaving/toenails/etc. whilst hatching lincoln logs) 🙃🤡

    Look at the bright side, you didn't drop a nut in the sink and have it go down the drain and then have to pull the trap off to get it. Always close the drain stopper in the sink or the tub.

  • @patrickkamer3924
    @patrickkamer3924 Před 4 měsíci

    You could have just put a washer or two between the bracket and the fan and it would have given the clearance without putting stress on the end cap of the motor. Don’t ask me how I know this. Lol
