I just gutted our main bath a couple of days ago, rebuilding slowly now. I am installing a light / fan combo in the center of the small room and direct venting with a 4" flexible wire clad hose to what I would consider a non-vented soffit that has been covered with 12" center vent vinyl soffit material. Here is my trouble .... I cut a 4" hole in the wood soffit, secured the hose with a couple roofing nails, then when I buttoned the soffit back up, the venting holes didn't line up with where I ( sorta aimlessly ) cut my hole.
Should I ...
a) cut a new hole, and patch the old so it lines up
b) drill some small holes in the existing location
c) install a flapper vent cover like for a dryer ( trouble with this option is the flaps would never close as it will be hanging on the horizontal of the soffit )
d) leave it alone set my tub, toilet, tile and call it good
thanks in advance, and if pic's are needed for clarification, I can shoot some tomorrow.
