The inspection is tomorrow. The contract allows them to have a roofer inspect it if recommended by the inspector.

The manufacturer says they don't recommend an elbow on the end, but it can keep rain and debris out of the fan and might be a good choice.

I will try to remove it, but presume it is glued on.

I am guessing it would take me 30 minutes to take it out and put it back.

Is it worth the hassle to try to clean it, or should I just replace it?

Thanks for the help.

Painting lacquered oak?

We have oak railings on our staircase. My wife wants to paint the spindles white.
I presume it is lacquered, but don't really know.

Does it have to be primed first, or just painted?
