This one took about $22.00 in supplies, one hour, and a rum and coke.

I cut a 4inch hole in the ceiling and mounted one of the duct baffles using drywall anchors. I removed the baffle as well. The depth looks deceiving, there is 5 inches between the baffle and the ac duct.

On the second duct baffle, I cut one side of the collar off.

I removed the baffle and attached it to the exhaust side of my Hamilton fixture using the existing screws.

I attached a dryer duct to both collars, using a clamp at the ceiling end. Now the fixture blows hot air into the attic.

The tank is at 80.2 degrees tonight and was 82 degrees before the venting.
