Installing Attic Fan To Cool Down My house

What happens here

After the hole is cut, prepare the surrounding roof shingles for the fan's integrated flashing. Use a pry bar and a hammer to carefully lift the shingles that will be covered by the upper part of the flashing. This involves gently prying up the nails holding these shingles in place. The goal is to create enough space for the fan's flashing to slide underneath these shingles, ensuring a continuous and watertight layer from the fan down to the rest of the roof.

Goal: Lift and prepare the surrounding roof shingles to allow the fan's flashing to slide underneath.
