Lonely Wandering Bum
What's up ladies and Gents! Just a weekly update. We thought we would be able to finish up the duct work today, but it turned out to be more work than anticipated. A lot of cutting measuring etc. We finished most of the duct work today though. We connected the bathroom to the main exhaust duct, now all is left of the exhaust is running the last couple of 6" duct outside of the house and installing the exhaust exit. We started and completed most of the fresh air system as well. We put up most of the duct, installed the intake fan and duct heater. We also ran half the duct across and down the wall. All is left is to run the fresh air duct to the other side of the room, and then we can start sealing the walls and ceiling back up...of course AFTER we test everything. So far we tested each piece for power, and everything works. The exhaust fans BLOW like MAD! (as we cut them on and put our hand in the end duct) So, it's going to suck that smoke right out the room easy! Anyway...a few photos below. All and any questions, feel free!
This is the little 50cfm fan in the bathroom that we hooked up to the main exhaust system.

That fan is running through a 4" duct below.

This is the last of the 4" duct that connects to a 4-6" duct reducer, which connects to the 6" main duct.

This is the one of the two fresh air ducts feeding the room.

This is the one fresh air duct going in and up the wall, it will run across the ceiling instead of in the ceiling, as there is no room for both duct systems to pass (it's ok, my ceilings are pretty high. I'm 6'1" and have PLENTY of head room.) The 6" duct will actually come down leaving about 4" left in the beam you see it pinned against once it's boxed off, covered with sheet rock, and will have a ladder effect. I plan on decorating it with the walls using molding. Where you see the open tee, is where we are going to run the other fresh air to the other side of the room.

The fresh air duct leads up the to this 6" duct heater.

The 6" duct heater runs into a 6" to 8" reducer, to connect to this big boy pulling in all the fresh air this room needs.

We cut the hole and installed the fresh air intake. We didn't finish this install, just put some basic sealer to keep things out until next week., however, everything fits like a charm. BTW, from the fresh air fan, we went to a 8" to 7" reducer, and went out the side of the house with a 7" duct and return.

We'll as Porky Pig would say, "That's all Folks!"...
Until next week!
Be well!
