A small but important job got done today, the vent pipe was cut out and installed for the bathroom exhaust fan. It went in well, I pulled the siding away, cut the hole, cut away the siding to fit over the outside plate, put the extension pipe on and secured it in place.
The pipe is rigid from the outside cover thought the wall, I'll cover it with an insulation wrapped flexible hose that goes from the fan over this pipe. Trying to keep the cold out.
The vent fitting is a bit larger than a normal one, like the one in the lower left side of this picture that was for the dryer. This type has four flaps that push out when air is force out. The one we have has a styrofoam ball that is pushed up and then rolls back into the opening for a tighter fit and less prone to letting cold air in.
