How Attaching the Grille?

/in /by


Twist the same color wires together (usually white to white and black or red to black) and add the connectors. Wrap the bare copper wire around the green grounding clip or screw and tighten to secure. Place the wires back in the electrical splice unit and reattach the cover.


If you don’t feel confident about doing the wiring yourself, don’t hesitate to call in a licensed electrician to install the fan or simply inspect your work when you’re done. Also be aware that aluminum (rather than copper) wiring requires special handling and any electrical work involving this type of wiring should be undertaken by a professional.


Attach the grille. Now you’re almost finished. Plug the blower motor into the electrical receptacle and secure it with the screws provided. Install the decorative plastic grille by slipping its mounting wires into the available slots in the housing unit. Make sure it sits snugly against the ceiling — spread the mounting wires a little to create more tension, if necessary.


Turn the power back on and test your new bathroom fan to make sure it’s working. Attach the duct. Once the fan is in place, connect a 90 degree duct elbow to the fan’s exhaust port using sheet metal screws. Then attach a new 4 to 6 inch (10.2 to 15.2 cm) duct pipe to the duct elbow.


It is possible to use the duct pipe from the old fan, but if it is less than 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter you will need to install a duct pipe reducer before reattaching the pipe. However be aware that using a smaller, older duct pipe will prevent the fan from working as efficiently.

How to Finding Storage Solutions Create a Farmhouse Style Bathroom?

Store things in glass jars. Mason jars—the old standby of the home canning hobbyist—look great on a bathroom counter or shelf. Fill them with bars of soap, cotton swabs, or other bathroom essentials. Mason jars are closely associated with the sort of simple rustic charm you should be aiming for when creating a farmhouse style bathroom. But, you don’t have to use Mason jars—any sort of large glass jar will do, especially old apothecary-style jars.

Store things in wire baskets. Wire baskets and bins are a standard component in farmhouse style bathrooms. You can use them to store bottles of shampoo, soap, toilet paper, or towels. Store the wire baskets and bins beneath the sink, on the back of the toilet, or on shelves located throughout the bathroom.

Use wicker and other woven materials. Wicker can bring a bit of rustic charm to your farmhouse style bathroom. For instance, wicker baskets can be used to store towels, toilet paper, and other bathroom essentials. Use wicker tables and chairs as makeshift shelves. And wicker baskets are perfect for storing fresh or soiled towels. Opt for dark wicker as opposed to white wicker, which can look dated.

Add some wooden boxes. Wooden tool boxes or small wooden containers add a homespun charm to your farmhouse style bathroom. Place a longer wooden toolbox on a shelf or at the end of your bathroom counter. Stuff smaller wooden boxes with bathroom essentials and hand towels.
