Check that duct tape once in a while. I've had problems getting it to stay stuck in attic spaces.
I'll bet you're glad that's done

Thanks for the advice fellas!

That should work.
Just realized you are in Cleveland. Ill be in Mentor in the middle of August and probably there in a few weeks. If there is anything from anyone or anywhere here you need I can haul for free as long as it fits in my bag on the plane and its nothing dangerous or illegal.... LOMLs mom is there so we visit every so often.
Oh and working in the attic there this time of year is a pleasure since it doesn't get hot up there. If LOML could transfer there Id have no problem living there as the weather is way nicer than here and the cost of living is less though taxes are very high there.(I hate the heat)

Do you mean the foil tape, or the standard duct tape? I used foil on the actual duct-fan connections...but then also wrapped the motor itself with some extra bats that were up there and secured it with grey duct tape just to hold it.
....and yes...very glad to not be up there any more (for now)

Thanks for the offer Robert! I know that Cleveland gets a bad wrap in the world...but I do love living here.

Very important.
