- First exploration into my closet ceiling
-
- Not good…

- Mr. Safety in flip flops
-
- Setting up the chute
-
- Sanity prevails… shoes
-
- Western wall of my closet
-
- Never liked that purple paint anyway
-
- Uncovering wall behind bed
-
- Here’s part of the problem – fiberglass compressed against roof with no vent baffles
-
- My closet
-
- Maddy’s closet
-
- Bathroom fan venting out soffit
-
- No baffle, flapper, nothing. Just flexible hose laying in soffit
-
- Mold on fiberglass in every wall
-
- Hallway lights
-
- Nice detail. Moldy rafter bay vented into interior wall cavity
-
- Uncovering extent of bathroom fan damage
-

-
- New chute. I liked mine better
