straight to the light switch is exactly what I had in mind. I can't get my wife OR son to turn the damn fan on in the main bath. And I don't think it has anything to do with fan noise. Just pure laziness, but you didn't hear it from me. Anyway, that's what I'm gonna do - hook the small bath fan up to the light switch. Do you think if I got a fan/light kit that it might be too much to connect to the existing light switch? I don't think there's much on that circuit; maybe two or three light switches. Thanks again for your help. Jim
