So I’m planning out a bathroom remodel and part of that is replacing the vent fan because currently mine is just venting into my attic (no bueno). I know normally bathrooms are vented out through the roof but my bathroom is on an exterior wall so I was wondering if I could just vent it out the side of the house. I’m going to be ripping open that wall anyways and I would much rather cut a hole in the side of the house than run a vent pipe up through the roof.
Also I’m in Minnesota if climate is a concern.

Prefacing this with I don’t know much about this stuff:
I just bought a house and the vent did basically this. Issue was it back drafted into the sofets and made the attic still moist and there was mold. Without knowing what you’re doing I think out the roof is the best.
Theres no sofets on my roof (only has like a 4" overhang) so that shouldn’t be an issue on my house.
Well that’s concerning too.
