I am remodeling our master bathroom. Stripping it down to the studs, new drywall, the works.
It previously did not have an exhaust fan. I have no idea why it was built that way, but always had moisture problems because of it. So I'm going to buy a good, quiet fan that moves air well.
Where should I exhaust it? Is running a conduit up to the roof ridge vent acceptable? That's the way the other bathroom fans are done, one of which is a full bath with bath/shower. Or should I vent it up and directly to the side a couple of feet and out the side of the house?
The latter is as clean looking, but since I'm having the house resided, now is a good time to do it if that's "best".
