Caution: if you forget the cover and run the unit, it will be inefficient (not able to dump heat to the outside air)

Um. Google 'UP 15-42 F' and you'll find new and used models for sale on eBay and other sites.

comment Fire hazard of exhaust fan with heating bulbs in bathroom?
But... most of those things go boom when you're in the room. Not nearly as bad as old rags in the garage, or a defective water heater.

comment What should I do about a hardwood floor that's sagging between the joists?
Pictures would be great. Also take a straight edge and place it over the floor, measuring the maximum gap. Big warning: if you add joists below, you risk making the hardwood buckle up and squeeeak...

Fortunately all the existing nail holes are nearly black, so matching is not a problem.

These are large enough holes, I'd like a permanent (finishable) solution. Fortunately all the existing nail holes are nearly black, so matching is not a problem.

comment How can I identify the manufacturer of my windows?
Do post pictures. Also are the sashes removable? Pull them all the way out and check for more marks. Also check the glass for etchings.
