Dryer vent disaster

Recommended Posts

No they had the HVAC trunk running the length of the house resting on the joists. Below is a view the opposite direction. 

I could strap it at the place where I cut the hole but I can't strap it where the 2x4's are unless I cut more ceiling out. 

I'm probably worrying about it more than necessary. It sounds like most of you don't think it's a major issue having it rest on those 2x4's.

That was my thought when reading and following along this thread. I felt you had a narrow area to do all your handy work 🙂

Maybe ask this guy to take a look and just get his recommendation.  https://www.midtndryervent.com/

They have always done a good job for us.  
 

Some how I would want this vented to the outside.  
BTW my home inspector didn’t find half the problems. One of those cookie cutter franchises American home warranty. 
My crawl space HVAC ductwork was a disaster and none of was mentioned even though he crawled it.

You can get a magnetic dryer vent cover - the vent door closes and stays shut when the dryer is off, the opens up when it is on. 

Not a bad option. I rent my place, and it has 3 plastic flaps on the cover, hasn't happened in a while
