An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Replaced a ceiling mounted one that made the plasterboard vibrate with an inline fan. The inline fan is up in the attic and ducts through the roof. The new fan extracts 3x as much air and is much quieter.
Still need to make good the ceiling, but that's tomorrow*'s job.
*Tomorrow in this case may not actually be tomorrow.
Nice. Easy enough to swap? Sometimes it can be a nightmare trying to get the existing hole/ductwork/etc to work but it sounds like yours went easy.
Ya, mine's a nightmare that I almost addressed a couple years ago, after 8 years of ownership. Got up into the rafters and changed my mind, putting it off for another dreaded future attempt.
Now I'm selling the place, so it's someone else's problem.
Not exactly easy, as the part of the attic I was working in is not boarded, so lots of twisting to get angles for screwdrivers etc. The existing ducting was long enough that it easily accomodated the new fan. Snips and zip-ties FTW. Took an hour and a half and I managed to strip the head of the last screw I put in to secure the new fan into the bracket holding it onto the rafters. That is also future me's problem.
