Ahh the little "why would someone do this" questions when owning your own home.
The bathroom extractor fan started playing up recently. Bought a replacement and started taking the old one out only to find that, despite having mounting points for screws it, they have not been used. Instead it was GLUED INTO THE WALL. Why???
Now it's pulled part of the plaster away. It feels such a weird thing to do rather than just drilling the mounting holes and screwing it in place.
New extractor fan fitted!
We found out why the previous fan was glued in; because the previous owner had bought a fan too small for the hole that he'd made in the plasterboard (there's a wooden frame inside for the fan to screw into) and decided to just glue the one he'd bought in place.
Thankfully the one I bought was big enough to screw into the frame and is working much better at extracting. :)
@renbymon That is so absurdly jank...Glad your new one fits better! It looks good, I had no idea Bosch made extractor fans.
@renbymon SUCKY SUCKY!!!!!
