Poisonfangs85 Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Put in a solar powered roof vent today. This is my first attempt at a video. It's very short cause when I did it the heat index was around 100 and being on the roof didn't help haha. I attached a pic of the final product cause I couldn't film and work at the same time. Looking back I would have run the power cable through the roof, but oh well it's my house not a customer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Hernandez Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Putting the sun to good use, ever time I look back on a job I wish I did some things differently. Started some stuff around the house today and got rained out it was only about 90 today so that was a plus. I hate our rainy season can't get anything done can't even go to work :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poisonfangs85 Posted July 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 It's rocking the Midwest too. We have been stopped from the rain at work too many times this year...concrete and rain don't mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poisonfangs85 Posted July 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 I did do it yesterday in the heat of the day. Not very smart but it had to be done. Already feeling a difference. I am planning on doing one more to pick up the remaining area of the attic. And I just realized how mad I sound in the beginning of the video, not mad at all just hot lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember right there was an attic fan adapter that links to your phone with Bluetooth. I saw it somewhere but not sure if it was a concept or real product.
