Timer based venting fans

We also added timer based bathroom venting fans (very quiet) from Panasonic in both of our bathrooms. The left switch is to control the amount of time for the fan to run. This is useful for after a shower. Set the fan for 30 minutes or so after your shower and walk away. All the remaining steam will be vented away. The right switch is to turn on/off the main light and the night(4 watt) light.

Christine's handy work

Instead of just buying a standard bathroom medicine cabinet, Christine made a nice one out of a spare drawer from Ikea. I was quite impressed! This is even multi-functional. She added the 2 towel bars in front the cabinet for our girls to hang their face towels and to keep things inside the cabinet from accidentally falling out.
