Bathroom Fan

On Monday while Sarah was at School i decided to replace the bathroom exhaust fan, because the fan did not work. Felt like a good reason to replace it. Anyways for those of you that have never installed an exhaust fan it turns out to be fairly difficult. The idea is simple...Connect 3 wires on the fan to 3 wires in the celing. The hard part comes in when you try to take out the old fan that has been in the celing for 30 years or more with 30 year old wires and nails. About 2 hours later i had the old fan out and i looked up into the hole and found that there is only one stud going along the side of the opening, making it hard to sucure the fan in the hole. That might be why it was so hard to get the old one out (someone put it in really good). well i ended up connecting a hook about 3 feet up into hole and strung picture hanging wire down and "hung" the exhaust fan out of the celing. It doesnt look great but it works...Pictures to come!
