Looking for research ideas to add an exhaust fan in my bathroom. The room is small. Behind the door is the toilet, then a small sink cupboard, then a tub/shower with a window that opens by sliding upwards.

I don’t think there’s any electricity past the sink. Walls are lath and plaster.

And I’m not super skilled, but also not completely inept.

Are there any minimally invasive approaches for me to look into, or is this a full on contractor situation?

Thanks for any ideas.

    You don’t say why the window is insufficient ? Anyway, how about a flat prototype Styrofoam box in front of the window, and a small PC fan connected to a remote usb-adapter ? It should easily be able to empty a small bathroom for moist air.

    Cheap parts, quick to glue/tape, and it would give a hint if it is enough for your problem. Tho, you would have to make sure the moisture doesn’t just condense on the cold window frame and rot it, and you will lose the heat.
