    Dryer Vent Debacle

    I just looked up a register boot. It looks like the way to go as it has a built in L and would convert the easiest. I think over time it could accumulate debris, but should not be near the mess that is taking place right now. For my particular case that only has the square duct with a hole...

    Cantilever - Modification?

    I have an all brick house that my wife and I bought last year. I say all brick, but there is one spot in the back of the home where a bay window was added that is cantilevered siding. To me it looks rather out of place, and I wonder why (other than money) the builder did it that way years ago...
