Brother, I have been in construction in one form or another since 1990 and I would like to tell you how much I appreciate your content for DIYers. I have even learned a few things from your channel myself. The only thing I would have done differently here is cut the shingles you set the flange on to the width of the vent cap so that they overlap the flange on the sides.

I would recommend no tar at the bottom in case you get any condensation it needs a place to escape, If anything leave 3-4 weep holes. Other row of shingles should overlap. Good effort

[Mixdplate]

Great start to finish instructions. My most import critique would be that the bottom of the vent cap should not be sealed to allow for any water/moisture that collects, to escape. 👍

[becktribe]

Outstanding! Step by step instructions that anyone can follow. You are a great teacher.

Nice job. 9:17 It looks like you left the 3 inch duct reducer/adapter and put it inside the 4 inch duct. It's intended to be removed when using 110CFM and 4" ducting.

Excellent job! You gave me confidence.... My friend says the extra roof tar makes it ugly. I told him I couldn't care less and I know it won't leak

This is exactly what my bathroom vent is right now. No connection to the outside just through the attic. Thank you for this video, it looks a lot easier.

I just installed a panasonic rg-r811a in a bathroom that never had any fan venting and had to do the power, switch, connections and the attic hole and it was a major pita. but i would definitely do it again bc it helps a lot! for you to do this and film it, god bless dude! I had a lot less space than yours and i happen to do it when its hot outside so the attic was mad hot. Liked and subbed!

[aamirshahzad]

You made it look easy.
I have to tackle this for my bathroom.

Thank you for your video. Looks very simple not as complicated as I thought.

Once I see a guy working in sandals I know something is going to go wrong! haha...You did many things well, however, this is not how to install a vent. You made one serious mistake, you had to cut out the shingles so the vent slides underneath the shingles on the sides and on the top. The way you did it will eventually leak. You are depending on the sealant from keeping the water out. The sealant will pull away from that vent edge and water will penetrate. You want the vent edges top and sides under the shingle so water flows right over the shingles. I get called on a lot of jobs that were DYI'd like this because after it failed, the wife now insist on getting it professionally installed. You don't need a professional, but you need to install it properly. Great effort thought! Seriously were work shoes!

[billmitchell]

I think you should have installed that vent cap UNDER the shingles not over. Better protection and would prevent any leaks MUCH BETTER. Also a much neater job. Any issues with the exhaust fan discharge so close to a sewer vent discharge point?

[jherschel]

Thanks!, I'm ready to do myself now..

[VincentStevenson]
