The one for the basement bathroom exists just under the gazebo deck. The main bathroom vent exists out the side of the cottage.
Each location presented different challenges.
The basement bathroom vent posed a position challenge. The hole needed to be positioned so that the vent would fit between the two joists of the deck on the outside and between two floor joist on the inside. Fortunately it worked out! Cutting the hole was a bit tricky. I ended up drilling a center hole from the inside and then using this to measure a circle on the outside. I didn't have a 3-inch hole saw, (or one 3.5" so there would be some play) so I drilled a series of close 3/8" holes around the circle and then used a reciprocating saw to cut between the holes.
