Did you end up doing the fan installation yourself or hire someone? Debating whether to DIY mine or if it's one of those "better left to a pro" situations...

I went back and forth on this too...ended up DIYing mine. Honestly wasn't too badβ€”just watched a couple YouTube vids first. If you're comfy with basic wiring, you'll probably be fine.

I debated DIY too, but after my last "simple" plumbing project turned into a mini indoor waterpark, I decided to call in a pro this time. 😂 If you're good with wiring though, you'll probably be fine. Just make sure you have plenty of towels handy...just in case.

Haha, totally feel you on the plumbing adventures...been there myself. Wiring usually isn't too bad if you're careful, but have you thought about energy-efficient lighting options like LEDs or motion sensors? They can save you a bit on electricity bills and are pretty straightforward to install. Also, are you planning to reuse or recycle any fixtures? It can really help cut down on costs and waste.

LEDs and motion sensors are definitely worth considering, especially in bathrooms where lights tend to get left on accidentally. Just make sure you pick LEDs with a warmer color temperature (around 2700-3000K) to avoid that harsh, clinical feel. As for reusing fixtures, it's a smart move if they're still in good shapeβ€”especially faucets or towel bars. But honestly, sometimes older fixtures can clash with the new design, so weigh the savings against the overall aesthetic you're aiming for.
