    Enclosure exhaust fan

    So I had to install an exhaust fan to vent out the smell of the way oil because the wife was going ape over the odor, and I had to do it fast and cheap. It would permeate the whole house after some machining. I bolted a bathroom fan to the back of the enclosure over top of the oil pump cut out with hinges so it can swing open, then attached a tupperware container over it with magnetic tape to seal it. I had to run vent pipe over to the dryer exhaust vent to get the air outside the house. Oh and I cut a large hole in the oil pump enclosure where it wouldn't get hit with coolant an covered it with a grate. I just have it temporarily wired to a power strip plugged into the wall since I can't pull 120v off the machine. Anyway I'll shut up here are the pics.

    Looks good! I am lucky to be at the far end of a 3-car garage. I get odors from some of my equipment, but they stay in the garage and don't migrate to the house. No spousal complaints (on this subject, at least...) yet...
