    Yeah a wire from breaker box to the fan location. Then the other 14/3 wire from the fan location to the switch location.

    I did this in a row house in Philly. Use the vinyl. They sell it at Lowe's or home Depot. It comes in pieces that are like 12" wide or so and slide together in tongue and groove pattern. Use vinyl trim pieces too. You don't want fiber board in the wet bathroom and the vinyl doesn't need to be painted and can be cleaned super easy. And I'd put it behind the vanity. One, it'll look nicer and be easier than trying to get a perfect fit. Two, allows for vanity to be changed down the road.

    Now let’s see the directions for the fan. But I don’t think fancy switch is going to work. When I did mine I put the lights on a dimmer on the wall and left the fan run off the pull cords. It runs 24/7 anyway, only changes direction spring and fall and you have to get up there to do that.

    That was me. Not sure if you know that. This was just before I finished plantings. It was a very long road from jackhammer and skid steer to this.

    I already gave the directions that were for the fan lol.

    But a friends dad came over and got it wired and it works. Im not the one who ran the wires mind you. But the hot wire (from the breaker) just went to the switch. Neutral (form breaker) went to the neutral on the fan. Grounds all connected. Then blue from the fan went ot yellow on the switch (light control) and then the black on the fan went to the red on the switch for fan control. All works now and even controls speed.

    Like ya said though still have to control direction via the switch on the motor. Now to balance it lol. Thankfully its pretty good out of the box

    I'd prefer the shitter next to the shower, but wasn't about to change that. Thousands of others in the neighborhood the same way.

    Figured I’d post this here.

    Has anyone installed a storm door from scratch? Meaning our house doesn’t have one so I’m not replacing one but adding one in. I’m assuming I would have to add some wood trim around the door frame to make space for the door handle to clear the existing front doors handle. Just not sure what’s involved so thought I would seek input here.
