If you install an exhaust in the bath, please don’t vent into the attic. We typically use the soffit with a nice little flapper vent I get from my plumbing supplier. ---

We typically use the soffit with a nice little flapper vent I get from my plumbing supplier. What’s the price on doing something like that. My plan was to vent it right outside (if possible). It’s a straight shot probably 4-5ft max duct run. ---

Kitchen updating. Old style that JayS loved. ![https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/428498_680780947831_2141750837_n.jpg](https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/428498_680780947831_2141750837_n.jpg) Little bit of paint and cabinets repainted + new hardware…they’re not all up yet, hopefully this weekend. All the cabinets and drawers also have the rubberized liners in them, which I like. The walls with the red paint took three coats to get looking smooth and cover. ![https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/600723_680781097531_173127528_n.jpg](https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/600723_680781097531_173127528_n.jpg) ---

Shit I haven’t updated this in a long while: Had Andy (1QIKZ) Stop by yesterday and install a new bathroom light/exhaust fan for me. Tested it out today and my floors creak louder than this thing runs. Absolutely no steam on the mirrors. Took him and his coworker ~3 hours from start to finish (No existing fan in place). Came out really nice, and they cleaned up everything. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v398/Thorguitarist/Android%20Uploads/IMG_20121020_130543_zpsd55ec141.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v398/Thorguitarist/Android%20Uploads/IMG_20121020_130543_zpsd55ec141.jpg) Updated the living room: ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v398/Thorguitarist/Android%20Uploads/IMG_20121021_122738_zps44544fea.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v398/Thorguitarist/Android%20Uploads/IMG_20121021_122738_zps44544fea.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v398/Thorguitarist/Android%20Uploads/IMG_20121021_122844_zps8f5aa97b.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v398/Thorguitarist/Android%20Uploads/IMG_20121021_122844_zps8f5aa97b.jpg) Kitchen: ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v398/Thorguitarist/Android%20Uploads/IMG_20121021_122919_zps70ae7dac.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v398/Thorguitarist/Android%20Uploads/IMG_20121021_122919_zps70ae7dac.jpg) Bedroom: ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v398/Thorguitarist/Android%20Uploads/IMG_20121021_122944_zps3bbd27a3.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v398/Thorguitarist/Android%20Uploads/IMG_20121021_122944_zps3bbd27a3.jpg) ---

Thanks! Working on painting my back hall and front foyer. The front was wood paneling which we primed yesterday. We’ll see how shitty it turns out.
