Stop moisture from destroying your bathroom walls. Learn how to install a bathroom vent fan with a calm, step-by-step guide from an experienced mentor.

Have you noticed "sweating" walls or fogged-up mirrors that just won't clear? That moisture is a silent threat to your home’s structure. In this episode of TORQUE & TAPE, we’re stepping through the entire process of installing a bathroom exhaust fan—from cutting the first hole in your ceiling to making the final electrical connections.

Whether you’re dealing with a legacy remodel or a brand-new installation, we cover the "feel" of the trade: how to identify joists, the trick to using foil tape for a permanent seal, and the essential safety steps at the breaker box. I also share a critical "mentor mistake" regarding measurements that will save you hours of drywall repair.
