 |
|
I got a bathroom with no windows. There is a vent in the ceiling of the bathroom, but no bathroom fan. I took a peek inside and doesn't look to be any electrical wires to hook a fan up.
Are there any options available to get the air vented out? Is there a way to hoop up the exhaust fan to the bathroom ceiling light to power it? |

First, you might want to consider what's in your diet that you would need a fume hood in your bathroom.
Next, the answer to your question is no, not really, sorry. |

I have a feeling he's more concerned with the humidity from showering, and the nastiness that can result. |

Bingo. I want to try and nip this now before summer time. Black mold all over the bathroom is not good. |

Ya, an electrician should have little trouble in connecting a small extraction fan to your ceiling light. |

| For anyone who thinks those fans are pointless, my lightbulb exploded and tripped the breaker in my apartment the other day after an hour-long shower because the fan wasn't working ENOUGH. |

Yes... That ceiling of the bathroom. Where you never SEE the black mold grow.
See the bold, italicized, and underlined part. |

| I'm a fan of bathrooms too! The feel of porcelain on my skin, the smell of 20 men's collective urine wafting in the air, the can next to the toilet like a toybox of delights. I...I gotta go for a few minutes. |
