MORE BATHROOM WORK

Strange how some things seem like they never end. After lunch and a little Masters watching (Rory eventually choked), I went to HD Supply & Design to purchase some towel bars, a faucet and plumbers putty for the upstairs bathroom. I looked for a bathroom vent, but could not find one the right size.

So I went to Home Depot and it turns out Broan is a Lowes brand or only Lowes carries the vent fan. But Home Depot had a nicer set of towel bars I thought would look good, so I purchased some there. I had to go back to HD though to return the ones I bought there. I thought they had good prices, but it turns out they really don't. I think they're better for larger type items like doors and windows and that sort of thing.

Then off to Lowes to buy the vent fans. To purchase the new super quiet ones, you need to make a larger hole in the ceiling so that the new box can fit. That's not something I would know how to do, so I just went with purchasing a new fan motor. It wasn't difficult to replace, but a little time consuming because when you open a vent that hasn't been touched for some time, there is a lot of dusty stuff inside that thing. It took some time vacuuming all that debris, but after all was said and done, no more squeaky vents! They run smooth, but are still pretty noisy at 3.0 sones.

I watched Secret Millionaire and then played some poker before getting some rest for tomorrow's LOLA work at 8AM.
