Installation a Bathroom Fan

/in /by


Drill a reference hole and mark the ceiling. Take your power drill and use an extra-long, 3⁄4 inch (1.9 cm) spade bit to drill a reference hole in the ceiling, where you intend to place the fan. Measure the vent fan housing. Head up to the attic, find the reference hole and clear away the insulation surrounding it. Use the the fan housing measurements to ensure that the fan will fit in the chosen spot, between two joists.


Go back to the bathroom and measure the fan’s intake port. You will need these dimensions to cut the appropriate sized hole in your ceiling. Use a framing square and pencil to mark the outline of the fan’s intake port on the ceiling, using the measurements you just took. Cut the intake-port hole. Use your jigsaw to cut out the portion of ceiling you just marked. If you don’t have a jigsaw, you could also use a reciprocating or drywall saw.


Don’t let the cut section of ceiling fall to the floor after cutting, as it could pull additional pieces of drywall or plaster with it. Use your free hand to support the rectangular piece of ceiling and gently lower it to the floor. Remember to wear safety goggles and a respirator while sawing through plaster and drywall to protect your eyes and lungs.


Put the fan in position. Before you lower the fan into the hole you just cut, attach a 90 degree duct elbow (to which you will later attach the duct pipe) to the appropriate outlet port using foil duct tape. Insert a cable connector through the removable knockout hole on the side of the fan’s housing, then slide the supporting metal brackets into place.


Center the fan over the ceiling hole and lower it into place, making sure any connection points are oriented correctly. Secure the fan to the joists. Once the fan is positioned correctly, extend each of the metal brackets until they reach the joists on either side of the housing unit. Use drywall screws to firmly secure each bracket end to the joist.

How to Clean Your Bathtub with Grapefruit and Salt?

/in /by

Not a fan of harsh chemicals to clean hard water stains from your tub? Do you need an alternative way to get the tub clean without bringing toxic fumes into your life? In some cases there’s no other way to clean but with chemicals. However, if you clean on a regular basis and stay on top of soap, scum and mold build up you should be able to get the job done with grapefruit and salt.

Slice a grapefruit in half. You should only need half of the grapefruit to get the job done in the tub so either save the other half for lunch or use it on other areas of the home. Locate a box of sea or Kosher salt. You want the larger granule of salt for more exfoliation power. If you don’t have larger grained salt, you can still use regular table salt, but you will need wider coverage when cleaning.

Rub the grapefruit all over the tub, allowing the juice to run all over the tub. Make sure the juice stays in the tub and doesn’t run onto the floor. Sprinkle salt over the tub and the grapefruit juice. The juice should allow the salt to cling to the tub. You only need about ½ cup of salt for the entire tub as you will be rubbing it over porcelain and fixtures.

Rub and scrub the grapefruit into the salt, lifting stains and grime. If necessary, apply a scrub brush or washcloth to the area for extra cleaning power. Allow the grapefruit/salt combo to stand in areas that are especially tough or stained. Wipe salt and grapefruit away as you work.

Rinse with clear, warm water. Turn on the tub faucet and run your hands around the tub to encourage the grapefruit and salt to go down the drain. Use a washcloth to rinse and encourage a squeaky-clean surface.
