Home Maintenance & Repairs: We're installing a wall bathroom exhaust fan through an exterior wall.
The fan uses an 8'' duct. Any advice for how to cut the 8'' duct hole in the exterior wall? There are no wires or studs in the way. Are there hole saws for 8'' ducting or is our best bet to use a sawsall?

The critical issue is to pair the right breaker "rating" with the appliance...and unsure the wiring is up to snuff.
My big project yesterday was upgrading the wiring for a 240 volt steam shower. This was modified recently and some 12 ga wire was used...this was set up with a 15 a /240 breaker. This steam generator requires 10 ga with a 30 a breaker.
You will need to check the power rating of the thremo...and see it it matches the combined loads of the heaters...normal limits for 12 ga are only 20a.
