Now I KNOW what you are thinking...EXHAUST FANS!! HOW EXCITING!! Believe me...I know..:) I think the reason it took us so long to tackle this project was the much understandable LACK of EXCITEMENT of shopping for an exhaust fan.
Kinda like shopping for FILLINGS for your teeth..
YAH, you need em, but UM....I don't know care what you put in there as long as it doesn't fall out.
:)
You hear me?? :)
Yeah...THAT exciting.
Then I found THIS beauty!!!
Then while I was working on some other posts and stuff I remembered the sink from


National Builders Supply (http://www.nationalbuildersupply.com/?utm_source=ArtisBeauty&utm_medium=bloggerintext&utm_campaign=blogger)


DUH....BUILDERS SUPPLY...


NOT just sinks...


So I looked up Exhaust fans online..


NO NEED to get out of my paint clothes for the oh so exciting task..
While online I found this baby!!!


Broan Nutone Exhaust Fan ( http://www.nationalbuildersupply.com/broan-nutone-exhaust-fan-766bn/p239011)


Its NOT UGLY!!!


Its actually PRETTY...


an Exhaust fan that looks good and does a job..


Say it ain't so!!!


I ordered it and it was here in a matter of days...
Now it was time to install..


Really this is the cruddy part..


not gonna lie...


I mean...


Here is our OLD one..
Honestly..I couldn't get Jimmy Fallons Character out of my head


when we were taking the old one out.


I guess over 15 years will do that to your


exhaust fan.
Once our weather cooled down here


the hubby finally agreed to go up in the attic


to replace it.


It was still hot up there thanks to his BILLIONS and BILLIONS of


layers of insulation (I swear the man would buy stock in it if he could)
You can imagine his excitement at getting to go through our


sons closet to get up into the attic...


crawling through the insulation,


careful to only crawl on the beams,


all to get to the bathroom exhaust fan.
Here you can see me being the OH SO HELPFUL


and hilarious wife and handing him his screwdriver through the old exhaust fan


hole. DOESN'T he look THRILLED.
Once we had removed the old one we cold replace the base of the unit and


affix it to the studs in the ceiling.


He did all the wiring since he has done lots and lots of wiring.


Once it was installed it was time for me to affix the


bulbs and the shade and listen to this baby PURR..
Now you will have to take my word for how pretty it is when its lit up.


Have you ever tried to take a picture of a light..


while its on...


YEAH...its kinda hard.


So I had to take the pic with it off..


But I tell you what..


My kids were astounded the first time they took a shower


and this sucker cleared the room almost


instantly of all the steam.
No More UGLY gross exhaust fans.


We are now HIGH CLASS with our FANCY


pretty Exhaust fan!


:)
