Thank you 🙏🏽!

[@VinUnleaded182]

This video covers pretty much most of the challenges I anticipate except for how to walk in the attic when theres insulation everywhere
Liked and subscribed!

[@schwinnbiking]

2nd method you can pull the wire through without cutting a hole in the wood, then just put metal over it and patch. This is the way I used for running cable through joists in the ceiling where you don't want to cut the structural joists.

[@kona702]

Thank you for this. I'm going to attempt to install a bathroom fan myself. Not thrilled about cutting the hole in my roof, but I'm going to give it a shot. Hopefully I won't have to call the roofing company to fix my mistake lol. 😂 The only difference I would encounter maybe is that I have lath and plaster, not drywall. But most of the method still applies.

[@Invierno1894]

I did my own bathroom fan install and found exhausting it out of the side wall in the attic was easier/lower risk than the roof. You can easily get a vent cover... Think like dryer vent exhaust. Just offering up what worked for me as a homeowner.

[@kona702]

@@Invierno1894 my house is brick though with cinder block behind it. That would be a nightmare to cut through 😔

[@azizb.7561]

Very informative! Thank you! Do we have to fireproof firestop? What about the first block from attic?

[@deanf3872]

I second the question. Is fire stop needed for the hole we drilled once the wire is feed?

[@atlantajunglepythons1744]

@@deanf3872 I hope somebody knows the current code on this question, I’ve always wondered. Fire stop, is still there, and will do most of its job. It’s just that a little bit of flame could get through that hole.

Thank you 🙏🏽

[@nelsonchalas]

How do you fix the little whole you did to get the small wire through the roof on to the attic?

[@nimersamad417]

Videos good for newer homes but how do you fish lines with laith walls on older home's thx?

[@Chris.Rhodes]

It's hard....i just did it at my house. If you know where you need to go, I had to use a oscillating tool and actually make a 1" channel down my wall, fished the wire, then drywall repaired it. My studs aren't on 16", some are on 10" some are on 22" it's insane. Lathe and plaster sucks. I love my house but the best advice I can give you is..........rip the damn wall down and drywall back up. I hate the lathe plaster. Lol

[@theoriginalchefboyoboy6025]

most of these methods still apply. but sometimes with older homes there ban be spaces you can take advantage of. a neighbor o my mom's once fished a chain down an exterior wall from attic to fist floor because of this. take your time, look around, be creative. then there come the times when you simply have to open the wall and then patch later.

[@skyhawks4ever]

Well, nice video however, it’s never this easy. First of all you’ve got firebreak studs that you gotta try to find a way to get through. Next, If you have an old home like I do, you’re gonna have diagonal studs and braces. It’s a nightmare , something that even pros hate doing. Why don’t you make a mock up of the nightmare scenario and that would probably be very helpful to many people if you can pull it off.

[@pindapoy1596]

Sorry but your mock wall is hollow and my real wall is stuffed with thermal insulation. In real life one needs to punch the pull rod through that pink wool. Will your system work?

[@FixThisHouse]

Stay tuned! I have a solution for that on my future video 👍🏽😊

[@ninjahirodude658]

Right... I'm curious to know also

[@AlongtheRiverLife]

How does the stud finder work?> is it magnetic, etc?

[@1969EType]

Electronic stud finders rely on sensors that detect changes in the dielectric constant of the wall. The dielectric constant changes when the sensor is over a stud. The lower reading indicates the presence of a stud in the wall.

[@AlexGomes-hf7ob]

So many rods and holes in this video.

[@LuchambeeLuchambee]

What bout insulation

[@marcelimarilag]

Are you filipino? Nice work!

[@FixThisHouse]

Thank you 🙏🏽! Yes Po I’m Filipino 🇵🇭

[@atlantajunglepythons1744]

The top plate of my exterior wall is only about 8 to 10 inches below the roof sheathing. It’s impossible to drill through from the top as far as I can tell, even with my right angle drill. I guess I’m stuck coming up from beneath unless you have some great trip for that!

[@effortlesslygaming3150]

Pumpkin Cut an access hole in the drywall drill your hole pull your wire and patch it

[@davidl59]

Does not address crawl space transition into an exterior wall.

[@rogjerr]

If you find a firestop, just cut your hole above it. Your wire just dangles from higher up. Big whoop.

[@Shell.Shocked.Gaming]

[@DIYeverything513]

Thes instructions are not practical as most home insulations, horizontal 2x4 framing and the attic is not accessible in some cases.

[@TheHouseofFlipFloppers]

It's practical for homeowners who have them.
