I'm planning to install a new bathroom exhaust fan in a bathroom that currently doesn't have one. I'm comfortable with the electrical work, but I'm unsure about the best way to vent the fan. My main options seem to be venting through the roof or through the soffit. What are the pros and cons of each method for a DIYer? Are there any specific considerations for preventing moisture issues, ensuring proper airflow, or complying with building codes when choosing between roof or soffit venting?
