Had a great Idea the other day. I was racking my brain trying to figure out how to Ventilate. I have no access to anything besides for the door and cutting shit up isnt an option since I do not own the place. then it dawned on me everything has to go in and out the door right? So I hopped in the car and rode over to home depot and bought me a door made cuts in it for the intake and exhaust and hung it up. Total cost was 70 dollars and that was with having to buy a saw. after you make the cuts get covers like for central and you cant even see the holes. I also put a filterscent behind it so when it exhausts makes my other room smell like citrus lol. Cuts look like shit but all I had access to was a sawzall and a drill with one inch wood bit haha. Someone prolly had this idea before and put it up here but if not just figured id help. you can buy a cheap door from home depot for about 30 bucks and do whatever you want to it.

Hey man you did what I would have done. Buy a cheap door to use is perfect. I would have gone with a "hole saw" bit.
You can buy them for about $15 and up. You put them in your drill and they cut perfect circles. But hell man you got it
done, it looks good and it works so thats what matters.

I have a question about the fan. Does it vibrate the door? It seems like it would.

The big one vibrates a little the smaller intake fan not at all. I am in the process of moving the big a lil off the door and just ducting to the hole I made. The noise isnt that bad but I am making the outer room an office/game room and it would annoy me too much.

For that much money you could have hired a guy to patch and repaint the hole you made venting into the attic.

its a storage place where every person has a unit. even filtered that dosen't sound like a good idea lol. But if that wasnt the case good point

Thats what I was thinking 30 minute mud is like 7 dollars 4 inch knife 3-5 dollars
white paint at walmart 5-15 dollars

Dont get me wrong, it looks great and is def a good idea.

And no one else in this storage facility was confused as to why your door is vibrating emitting light and has fans attached to it....but a hole in the ceiling would be a dead give away....

alright then.

Im in a closet haha. A walk in. I live on the top floor of a building with multiple residents. The attic space is sectioned off into storage areas for the residents to store like grills and bicycles things of that nature. If I cut into the ceiling I would venting into an area everyone in the building had access to and where people frequently go to put stuff into storage or take stuff out
