That “rain forest” look is spot on. The first time I saw mold on the rafters, I thought we had a major leak too. Turned out the fan was venting right ...

I’ve run into that same issue with flex baffles sagging, especially in older homes where rafter spacing is all over the place. Ever try using those me...
