The problem is most people who live where it can get quite cold in the
winter will not open a window before taking a shower and leave it open for
the 20 or so minutes required to vent most of the humidity. When we bought
the place we live in now there was minor signs of surface mould on the
ceiling where it meets the walls. The first thing I did was install a vent
fan and vented it out under the soffit. We have been here 3 years and there
is no signs of mould in the attic - I was up there last week installing a
box for a roof fan... I prefer to vent warm air out the bathroom rather than
freeze my assets off after a nice hot shower.
I still want to install vent fans in the other two bathrooms, but since they
are not used as frequently I have not been in much of a hurry to complete
the task.
