Back when I was much younger and dumber I decided I really needed a exhaust fan in my bathroom at my house. It was a house built in the early 1950s and modernized a lot, but the bathroom never had an exhaust fan. It was summer and the central AC system was running hard and I was dumping a bunch of hot moist air into the house after every shower.
It was a 100 degree day and easily 125 to 130 in the attic. I punched a hole from below where I wanted the fan, went into the attic to find the studs and cut the hole. I made several trips up and down, and finally got ready to wire it up.
The house had originally been wired all in conduit, and the electrical ground was the conduit. I had to run a wire from the electrical box to have a good 3 wire system. So I got to spend a lot of extra time up there running the wire, and setting up an electrical junction box. By the time I came down I remember thinking wow, it is nice and cool in the garage, it was only 100 degrees. I was squirting sweat.
The fan made a big difference in keeping the humidity and heat out of the house. I suspect that long in the heat would kill me now. It was nice to be young and tough once.
