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.

    Ideally you want to put a fan in the ceiling and then duct as straight as you can out of the room. If your joists are running perpendicular to the wall you should be able to find a space that isn’t too bad to go straight out the wall. If you don’t want to cut into the ceiling, or there just isn’t enough space, Broan-Nutone also makes through-wall fans that are about as simple as it gets, this is what I have in my kitchen, and a lot of old homes have.
