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.
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.
