cutting a hole in the roof!! bravery indeed (I really appreciate your approach gives me a bit more courage to tackle my own projects)

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Go for it!

Hey Jay, I have an idea for your next project, build Nanna a greenhouse!

[@Building_Jays_Way]

I did. There is a video on it.

Awesome project Jay.... but that ladder setup was WAY sketchy!!! 🙂

That’s what my dad said!! It was better than it looked on camera. Ha ha.

Nice work Jay , its amazing how far your ability has come from your beginning with Perkins Bros....... The hardest thing to do in life is to get started ..... Most people just plan but your a doer !

[@Building_Jays_Way]

I appreciate that!

[@garymcdonnell]

Nice work! I always enjoy watching Jay's step-by-step projects. And that's a very cool fan.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Cool, thanks!

[@Bokooda]

Well done. Its hard work climbing ladders and feeding through wires and getting tools and cutting wires and getting the ladders on the roof and carrying stuff and tools and going back for the tape measure, then the right screws and the right drill, all the while getting crap in your eyes and scratching your knees on the felt. But its all worth it when they appear home and say: "Cheers Dad, is there any food? See ya later, I'm off out...."

[@marjoriebreslin2995]

Nice 👍 Technology is so great when it's applied to every day uses

[@AndersonFamilyHomesNV]

Great choice on getting a light and stereo on the exhauset fan. If you are going to cut a hole in the ceiling and the roof, might as well get a damn good fan to make it worth the effort.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

I agree!

[@acotyac]

Same fan/light we I installed in our master bath

Masterful Jay. Great to see all the tricky bits so well handled! Absolutely love the 'fan' Can't get these here in the UK - yet.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Zz0ki]

Thanks for the 4k quality)

[@charlespatt]

I put the same cap on at my house but installed the cap first then attached the duct from inside. Much easier dealing with the shingles.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

I agree, but I think it would’ve been impossible to try to attach that duct to the vent up inside the ceiling!

[@charlespatt]

@@Building_Jays_Way I thought that might be the issue. It looked a little tight in there. During the pandemic, we put new insulation in our attic and also added some lights to be able to see up there... then we discovered the bathroom fan never vented through the roof, the duct was just hanging loose in the attic space! I went through the roof when I saw that!

[@xJustBillyx]

Absolutely love these videos, I wouldn't have a clue about construction or building, im just a truck driver showing love from the U.K. Great job Jason 👏 👍

Pretty sweet!

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Thanks!

[@PapaScott72908]

Jay the best way I've found is to cut off the bottom part of a metal cloth hanger. Put that in a drill and drill through the drywall into the attic (yep, that's right). This will help with locating. I've used this through wood flooring.. .carpet to locate best location for HVAC duct registers in the flo.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Great tip!

[@fatcat-hc4pj]

I've installed a few of those fans they are nice.

[@piginapancake]

Oh man, you need to get yourself a Franklin stud finder. You won't regret it.

[@JJawsyW]

The flex pipe goes on after the vent hood is installed but your way worked.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

It would’ve been almost impossible to get up inside there to get that pipe attached inside the ceiling. It was a bit of a struggle, but I think I did it right

[@michaelsparks6084]

I hope the fan company's going to give you a sponsor! You did a great job on this one brother!

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Thanks

[@GaryWilkerson-o3b]

Thanks for sharing a little of your and Steph's life. Makes me smile.

[@ironsales5669]

Jay, worst case you can use neodymium magnets to find the drywall nails / screws and use a pencil to connect the dots to get your studs if your stud finder is not helping you identify them.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

If u had acess to the bathroom sealing thru the attic y not cut through the top so yk where u need n if u needa move then u have a idea where to have it

[@Building_Jays_Way]

No attic. Just a few feet to reach into.

[@cameronbarber3768]

I freaking love the perkins channel and watch it almost more than anything else on KZbin, that being said. I love this type of content on your channel over the behind the scenes videos from their channel, just an observation on my part🤷

[@Building_Jays_Way]

I totally agree! The only problem is that I don’t have enough content to put three videos on a month if I don’t do the behind-the-scenes. Working full-time and trying to do projects at the house takes up a lot of time. Thanks so much for watching though.

[@colinbrooks6290]

Jay the bathroom has extraction ! So remind me why you want to install additional extraction!

[@deborahsimmons2414]

Super cool, I love it!🎉

[@davidcrofts5246]

Most extractors in the UK are wired to the light or the shower if its an electric shower so it automatically turns on when you either turn on the light or start the shower.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Wow, that’s pretty cool!

[@rochelle1117]

The whole idea of an electric shower just seems crazy. I know it's just because we don't have them, but generally we don't stand in water while using electric.

[@TheRealJGE]

Did you ever nail the Roof Cap to the roof? Or is it just tarred in place? Love the fan, awesome work dude. Cutting through the roof is stressful haha!

[@Building_Jays_Way]

I did not install the roof cap? So I am hoping that it is installed correctly since it was a professional company that put the roof in.

[@scotttalkowski691]

Jay, get yourself some good strong Neodymium Magnets, they are great for helping to find studs in the wall. Just start sliding them until they hit a nail or screw.

[@DanskRedneck]

[@JujoeM]

awesome upgrade, awesome dad!

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Yeah, baby! Thanks for watching

[@schmidtyization]

I assume the controller has to be charged, or did you tie into the switch next to the location for power to the controller? Looks great

[@Building_Jays_Way]

The controller is just battery operated. It simply pulls off the wall and you can change the battery very easily. Thanks for watching.

[@BCS2023]

awesome!

[@regularguy9264]

Now that you have the bath fan installed, don’t forget to vacuum it periodically! I just did a job yesterday where I pulled out an insane amount of dust from a bath fan I installed several years back for a client. It was so tightly packed that it barely worked at all anymore, but once cleaned out was like new again. They are effective, but they are also amazing at collecting dust.

[@albertorozco5981]

Never thought of that. Thanks. I bet there is many people that dont ever do this.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Thanks for the pro tip!

[@willporter89]

Huge reason for fires too, they never get cleaned in warehouse baths or restaurant bathrooms and they collect dust and grease and boom. So yep clean them atleast once every 10 years lol

[@matthewgonzales9934]

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Too funny!

[@mtnberner2971]

I’m interested in this fan, did you say it’s wired to constant power, then it uses its own wireless switch?

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Yes, I have it hardwired to that outlet. Then it runs off Bluetooth switch that I put into the wall. That does not have any power to it. It’s just battery operated. It also has an app that you can put on your phone to run it.

[@peterwarnstrom8872]

While I was watching this, I kept thinking, what about a switch to control the fan. You more than had that covered. Really cool fan and features. I would be interested in knowing how this works for you over time, battery life for controller, etc. If you have a GFCI breaker feeding the circuit powering your fan, you are good. Thanks for the video. I always enjoy checking out what you are up to.

[@Cooper1]

15:43 “here I go… I guess”. Spoken like a true DIYer!

[@brandonbrenny4327]

National electric code states when a fan is in the shower like that it needs to be gfci protected. That’s why we never install them in a shower. 1” outside the shower no gfci. It needs a gfci outlet before the power to the fan to meet code. I’m only telling you this for info. I do plenty of stuff that works just fine and is safe at my house that isn’t technically code.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

So the breaker is a GFCI. Is that sufficient?

[@fibersgalore]

Can't you hook into the wiring for your light fixture. Built in the early 80s, both of my bathrooms have the lights and fans running off just one switch.

[@fibersgalore]

Oops, now I see why you didn't do it that way. Sorry.

[@GraingerProductions]

I’m jealous of that bath fan? That feels weird to say.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Not weird at all!! 😂

[@weekendhomeprojects]

That switch operate on batteries?

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Yes, the switch I put in the wall is just battery operated. It just pulls off super easy to change the batteries if they go low. You can also use the app on your phone to control the fan and light.

[@weekendhomeprojects]

@@Building_Jays_Way I need a new fan. You may have just sold me on it. Can it be wired of you already have a light/fan switch?

[@dennisoestermann1880]

At least the mattress aint the Bear minimum :P According the fan, I would personally choose a humidity controlled fan.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Yeah, I just tried to make sure the kids turn it on every time they take a shower and run it for a while afterwards. It may not be perfect, but hopefully it is better than what I used to have!

[@michaelcolgan3182]

I enjoy watching and never comment . The outlet by toilet you tapped into to power your new shower fan should be a gfci protected circuit . If you are not positive get an electrician to make sure . Also the Broan brand is very noisy , Creates call backs for lint build up in the fan cage . I prefer the Panasonic brand when I do bathrooms super quiet and never had one fail.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

I mentioned a couple other comments that the breaker is a GFCI? Not sure if that sufficient. So far so good on the noise on the brown. It seems to be pretty quiet. Hopefully the kids will love it.
