I have a door header that I have need to do that to for years. Always been concerned that I would find a mess of two by fours behind the sheetrock since it is the center support of the two story house.

Hopefully you find more than just 2x4's as headers for a support wall. I spent some time fixing messes that home owners created by cutting out headers, beams, support walls and such in the name of remodeling.

ive seen that to then they wonder why walls buckle and stuff

Cool, or rather hot! Can you hook them up to the home theater system so the lights pulse with the base?

How much are they?

Looks good. I like how you did the grates above the frame. So how are they working out with heat transfer? Are you going to continue and put in 4 each?

I know. There are enough nail pops from the house settling on both floors along that center support wall to just keep me looking longingly at that header and not cutting anything. There is enough crap in the basement without piling the rest of the house in on top of it.

well its the first night

i had a honeywell 7" twin window fan that was working nicely while i was working on this (just hung it in the opening and put a screw in it BUT i am having a VERY hard time to see what that was rated CFM wise so i have a # to base this off of IF YOU CAN HELP THANKS


so far its good i will see as the days go on and all


i think i paid 18.00 each

yup the grates are part of the frame 2 screws and it comes off to clean inside or make changes

I know this thread has been cold for awhile. But I wondered if I could mount those fans into the wall on the floor?

Right now as a short term solution i am going for door fans, but would want to switch to cold air into hot room in the long run.

Thanks.

I did about the same thing you are thinking about with wood stove. I used a 60 cfm bath room fan. I used a cabinet to mount the fan at floor level and ran a 3 inch aluminum dryer duct. It works good. The only draw back the fan is noisy. Its located at the back of the house. that way only 3 inch hole threw the wall Still using the same set up on the gas stove with no blower option for stove.

I think the fans at floor level blowing the colder air into the stove room is the way I would go.

+1 Good to hear this is working well for you.
