Heat still radiates even if the fan is on  The fan is really for pulling moisture and grease out of the room rather than heat.

are we hajacking OP's thread into a post your own reno thread 
Been doing my stairs last month....it is freaking tons of work.. I probably spent 100-150 hours on it. (There are no dressed white oak lumber available so had to work with 6" rough sawn lumber...took forever to plane and joint everything)
Stairs finally installed, just waiting for the glass railing to come in so I can install the handrail and finish off the trims. (The side with the gap in between is where the glass slot in)   | |

the stairs look fantastic, I wouldn't know where to start doing something like that.
I haven't done much to my renos the last bit, counters are in and just have to prime the walls and then the backsplash and my electrician will come back in and finish up the plugs.

I haven't been able to do much the last bit do to life but I finally had a free weekend to do some more work. My electrician said he will give me a bunch of no charge plugs in my mancave so I had to frame that in. I wasn't planning on doing that so soon but free electrical is always a plus in my books
the before pic 
The after pics... Had to tear the ceiling apart since I want to put roxul safe and sound and add 6 pot lights... I'm just pissed off I have my drywall from the 70's I have to deal with now...  
I also decided to tear out the bedroom valances since they took up a bunch of room and are straight up ghetto 
Now its time to get back to the kitchen by putting up the backsplash and it looks like my plumber will be coming over tomorrow to install my kitchen sink finally.

lol those stupid valances. My living room had one and I tried to avoid taking it out (just due to the mess) but once I started there was no going back and I'm super happy I ripped it out lol.
You using LED pots in that room? With the roxul safe and sound I'd use the LED pots over the regular cans because you have so much more of a gap/air barrier then. Also don't have to worry about the fire rating or clearances with the LED's

the funny thing about the valances is that was all all the gf's call, I came home and she already had one down when I wanted to leave it since we are already dealing with so much right now. I must say it is the right call and opens the rooms up that much more.
no question I'm going LED pots, thats by far the best option and like you said its the best call for the fire rating. I don't understand why someone wouldn't go with LED this day and age.

those old ass valences they used to put in are the worst.
Is there no insulation in that exterior wall or did you take it out when you took out the valence?
What's your plan with the textured ceiling?
I scraped mine all off....honestly should have just boarded over.

there is still insulation in the walls next to the headers but you can't see it due to the ghetto paper which covered the older insulation.
Going to leave the ceiling for now, that's one project I aint touching now that's for sure

Not to hard to scrape off your popcorn ceiling as long as it wasn't painted. I used some 9' wide poly from home depot to cover the walls and floor, sprayed the ceiling with water and then scraped it off. Had a couple marks that had to be patched but looks so much better.

Quick question,
I bought a townhouse with an unauthorized suite built in the basement. I want to make it my game room/office but I'm concerned with possible build quality. Things such as electrical and maybe some improper building techniques? Besides the obvious and hiring an electrician is there anything i can do?
Thanks

I don't think you'd be able to tell if it adhered to the electrical code without ripping through the drywall, unless for obvious stuff like surface run loomex cable etc

The easiest thing would be to switch off the power (verify both plugs on each outlet to be safe), pull off the plates and pull all the plugs/switches out to see how well that end of things was done. If you find loose terminals, disconnected grounds, cables not clamped down, etc you can probably guess they did a crappy job with the rest of it too.

It's just ugly in a finished space.

Redoing my bathroom
Hired someone to do the install, while I help with all the removal & disposal + transporting
Been almost 2 weeks, it is such a huge mess...
Tiles dust and drywall dust everywhere...I am going insane.. 
Hopefully they will get all the tiles done this weekend so I can clean up
Original 
Demo 
WIP     
Changed the shower to make it very "open" instead of like a cave
No Curb + linear drain on the other side.
Going to have two rainshower head mounted on the ceiling, and a handshower

looks really good so far, This past weekend I just finally mounted my kitchen sink, dry walled my bathroom and tomorrow I should put installing my range hood. Haven't posted any updated since things have been going pretty slow.

been painting my house....again
after eliminating the textured ceilings and installing pot lights we made a colour change from the typical "builder beige" to a grey
must say it's nice to have the house looking "normal" again and not patched/primed walls all over the place and being able to put lights back up. what a difference the LED pot lights make
this weekend is second coat upstairs and start downstairs
FYI the sherwin williams Emerald paint is amazing
