Ventilation Question

[SoCal gunner]

Due for an update: Roofer installed four O'Hagan vents in the attic space - 1 of which will be my exhaust port. The other 3 will serve to vent/ cool the attic space.

HVAC guy had to go retrieve his FIL from NoCal, but should have info for me on Monday.

So, you are going through with it. Nice!
The vents ought to help keep your home more comfortable. Are they humidity or thermostatically controlled?

Yeah, I know most people talk a lot of shit and never really do a project like this, but I want to make it happen. It may not be the Taj Mahal, but I want to see this through.

No, these vents are passive: one low and one high on each side of the roof peak to promote cross flow. One will be ducted to my exhaust fan system.

What I mean to convey is I appreciate everyone's contributions and that I'm taking them to heart and not just kicking tires or wasting anyone's time.

I was hoping you weren't trying to imply that you don't talk alof of shit in general

Sounds like it's moving along pretty quickly. You are going to love it and wonder why you didn't do it sooner my friend.

Not wasting anyone’s time. Even if it was just a hypothetical dream, still enjoyable to see the discussion and everyone’s thoughts. Who knows? It may just spark a dream for someone else.

I have kicked around a lot of projects that I haven’t seen through. Some for years. Some I do get to, eventually. Some are spur of the moment.

So the HVAC guy showed up today unannounced and look what he had for me:

He didn't even ask, just said he got it "cheaper than amazon" from a supplier who said it was a good fit and he can take it back if I dont want it. So either @WNYTONY knows what hes talking about or these guys don't and just said do what the other guy did - LoL

So now the question is "where would you install the two 6" circular exhaust grills"?

Im trying to take in the location of the HVAC supply and where I think I'll have a couple chairs and a coffee table. Take a look at my awesome drawing below (not to scale) and tell me where you think you'd put them. @WNYTONY @Nature @josh lucky 13 and anyone else with thoughs

Since your are determined to cut holes in your house, wherever the fresh air is coming in, I'd put the exhaust on the opposite side of the room for cross flow. Otherwise you'll have dead spots. Idk what HVAC is on your drawing. I figure it must be the register blowing air into the room? I tend to get fancy on things like that though so if air normally is drawn from under the door but when the HVAC kicks on it comes from that vent I'd probably have to put 3 or 4 vents in and have the 2 furthest from the door running normally but then automatically kick it over to 1 or 2 vents near the door only when the HVAC comes on. Or maybe run all of them when the HVAC comes on, depending on how much air it shoves into the room. But then I probably wouldn't ever put a smoking room in my house anyway.

Yes, it's the supply register. No return in this room.
