But they did on the other side? And holes are holes (he said) so all of them need to be sealed.

Took me a second, but gd, this fits the mildly infuriating...

Won't click reddit link to see but tear it apart if it won't get warrantied, what do you have to lose?

And don't buy "new" shit from ebay. I hate what amazon does but you do have a record of who you bought it from and usually the lowest price on something like this.

It's actually more of the problem. They can pay wait staff 2.13 an hour, but they cannot make them pack up take out orders for that. So it literally does cost them more to do take out.

Damn, that sounds awesome! Setting me up for disapointment (are you my dad?)

100% on check valves; technically each fan has to have it's own vent per code. Decent fans have a check in them but better safe than sorry. I'd put a separate exhaust unless it's really hard to get to.

+1 on humidity sensors but they can make wiring more complicated especially if you have a light as well.

I love Panasonic's. Not cheap but humidity sensor, variable cfm and quiet.

Noisy fans make you feel better but all that higher pitched exhaust fan noise stays in the room to make you feel better but trust me the bass noise comes through outside!

I was putting in a bathroom and the panasonic fan I bought had a humidity sensor. As this was a guest bathroom off a porch, I broke down and reran the wiring to have that working properly. Is on a timer and will come on when humidity is too high. Love that piece of mind.

Right on! I am luckywhere I live now, but those fan type traps work great.

Lol, I have one coming tomorrow and the wife is dead set against it. I think she's afraid she might like it :-)

Other comment is great, but a lot of it flat out depends on your siding. Indside is all cosmetic, outside is important to get watertight. If in doubt throw feelers out for a contractor that will come by and just give you advice. Give em $100-200 for an hour one night after you have one window out and ready to replace and ask him if there are any things to look out for.
