    However, we plan on finishing the attic to become livable space. This has been the most difficult project ever, and it seems like every option sucks.

    What about running it along the floor of the attic to the wall at the back of the house? Is it bad to run the ducting about 15-18 feet?

    But what about special soffit exhoust vents? I bought one this weekend that claims to let warm air out, but shuts when the fan is not blowing? Is that acceptable? Also, i have been warned about roof installations because apparently, if you do not patch the roof perfectly, it will certainly leak. The last Alternative is to run a good 15 ft long tube along the roof line in the attic, and run it to the wall at the back of the house. Then a wall vent can be used.

    Please help We want to install a ceiling bathroom fan in our 2nd floor bathroom. The ceiling level is above the roof level, so we have to vent through the soffit or through the roof. I heard conflicting reports regarding venting through soffits. We have a nice Panasonic WhisperFit Fan, and one electrician said that venting through a soffit was no problem, since the fan comes with a damper which will reduce the backdraft. My primary concerns are moisture condensation and heat loss. We live in Wisconsin. Can we vent through the soffit? We certainly do not want to deal with mold down the road. What should i do? Thanks!
