Question:
My bathroom vent only vents into my attic.. I'd like to fix it (after owning the house for 12 years).. But, I don't know how to do it.. Yes, yes... I know, cut a hole in the roof and place a cover on it.. Or is that how it's done?
1) Should I cut a hole in the roof and place some sort of store bought vent up there?
2) If so, does it matter on which side of the roof it's on? My neighbor was saying homes (like mine) typically have vents on one side only and as the wind blows it creates a vacuum and pulls out the moisture..
3) Is a roof mounted vent ok or should I run a long hose to a vent on the under side of my overhang?
4) Can I have too many vents in the roof and could this be the straw that breaks the camels back?
Help?
Also, if you can drum up a photo to explain how you feel it should be done would be helpful for me to visualize what I need to do..
