Finally got my bathroom reno approved—permit process wasn’t as scary as I thought

I totally get what you mean about the venting rules feeling nitpicky at first. When we redid our bathroom, I tried to use a recycled duct from an old project—thought I was being clever and eco-friendly—but the inspector nixed it because it was too narrow. At first I was annoyed, but after reading up on how much energy gets wasted with poor airflow, I kind of saw their point. Did you end up going with a standard fan or one of those ultra-efficient models? I’m always curious if the pricier “green” options actually make a difference in real-world use.
