A technician from the A/C company (Kron & West) identified this as an issue with the "motor module". He knew as soon as he heard the thunking sound. He said it's fairly common, and sometimes referred to as "hunting" due to the motor repeatedly trying to start, almost as if it can't decide which way to turn. He says a power surge can cause this. We experienced several here in the Tampa Bay area as Duke Energy was restoring power following hurricane Helene. I should have turned the A/C off during that period. Luckily, the part was under warranty since it was only 4 years old. However, I did have to pay for labor, which came to $615 with tax.

Notice the light fixture extends beyond the vanity to cover all available wall space. Having as much bright, white (5000K) light as possible in a bathroom is ideal, especially to start your circadian rhythm "timer" first thing in the morning (which is what counts the most). It's also nice during the day, but you want to use dim light at night that's warm (2700 or even 2500K). I wanted the light to be dimmable, but didn't get a color tunable one since I think it's best to use a dedicated white light that can go super bright, and use a separate switch attached to warm lights for nighttime ambiance. Then you don't have to mess with an annoying app to change the color temperature. I follow a convention throughout my place that the first switch is the "warm" light and the second is the bright white light (so as not to catch anyone by surprise). I had the fan switch moved closer to the potty & shower for convenience, and to avoid too many confusing switches next to the door. I found myself always using the bath towel to "save" the hand towel for guests. But I think guests appreciate paper towels more. Also, I use them myself for cleaning (once a year, at least). I like the aluminum shelf on top for stuff that can be wet and is used often. That's better than putting it in a medicine cabinet, especially if your hands are wet. Who cares if people see that stuff? What would I change...? In retrospect I think the age-old advice about getting as large a vanity mirror as possible is best. But if you achieve that with a medicine cabinet the doors are going to be too big & heavy. Also, you end up with a seam. I'd instead look for a big mirror that is backlit all around, ideally with a dimmer, color tenability and a clock. (Don't get a built-in TV screen since that will become obsolete too fast). Storage doesn't have to be in the mirror. I'd use mostly open storage elsewhere (such as on the side). For the few things you really don't want people to see I'd either use the vanity cabinet or reclaim more space in the walls with sunken cabinets. Speaking of a screen, I had an outlet installed on the right side of the vanity so the power cord for the Google Home sitting on the back of the toilet didn't have to snake across the counter.

I like the multitude of light settings in the space

It was a pleasure installing this cabinet first time I've ever done anything like this. Not to forget we did it during a tropical storm in Florida

Looks really high tech...the fan's quietness is very nice...as is the timer, so it doesn't get forgotten, running too long. Great job by Cliff!

Looks nice!!
