After working late last night, I had trouble getting up in time for the workshops. I did watch a couple shows on HGTV, and saw something that reminded me of an issue, and how to fix it. Issue: Ventilation in the bathroom. The bathroom is in the middle of the house, with the outside wall millimeters away from house next door. Inspiration: A poorly installed ventilation system in a bathroom. Hose not connected, an empty beer can used as a connector, and a wadded up sheet of plastic in the hose. Plan: Put a vent in the bathroom, above the toilet, on the inside wall. Fan too. Have it run along the top of the closet next door, into the kitchen and out the back. Secondary idea, we were planning on making that closet our laundry area. Also hook up the vent out for the dryer to this vent out. Of course, add a 'box' to hide the hose, both in the laundry closet and the kitchen. Add a couple access panels for cleaning (particularly considering the dryer)
Also, will do something similar for my wife's parents. No, they don't have a dryer (yet... maybe) but the moisture in their bathroom is an issue. Tomorrow, I'm going to get some measurement, so I can make at least a rough sketch of things. Will be another page, labeled "Pictures, diagrams, and drawings"
