Has anyone installed a bathroom fan/vent ?

I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to install a bathroom fan. I don't have any crawl space so its either take out drywall, or wait until I re-roof the house. I don't plan on re-roofing anytime soon, so any advice would be appreciated.

Several of us have found the Panasonic Whisper Wall fans a great solution.
Try searching the Chatterbox forums.

Here's a start:

Thanks for the link Ramon. I was looking at a panasonic, so glad to hear that they get such positive reviews on this site. The model I was looking at indicates that I could install it in the space between the ceiling and the roof (not a lot of room, but it should fit below the roofline. It would be great to hear about how people have installed a ceiling vent/fan and not cut a hole in the roof. I'm thinking the only way is to remove sheetrock from the ceiling, but maybe there is a better way.
