Nice work on the bathroom! About the light fixture, is it upside-down? I have a similar type, and the openings face downward. Better illumination for make-up (my wife) and much easier to replace bulbs (me). Also, I put LED bulbs in it, to reduce energy and heat.

Great article, thank you.

Love the bathroom redo, and the linear drain. The most beautiful part is what you did inside the walls.

I’d tape 6 mil poly to the inside of the bathroom walls and insert a duct blaster fan. You might find you have much better numbers for the bathroom. Otherwise, where are you getting 208 cfm?

Have you pressurized the whole condo to 50 Pa. then followed smoke to determine where most of the air is going? Or performed zonal diagnostics?

Thanks for sharing your B.S. adventures.
