    Dryer Vent Under House

    Thanks for this. I recall the company sent a very young man not much out of high school if that. I always prefer someone seasoned. Your explanation makes sense to me. I hear you on the moisture. I was hoping the ventilation took care of that. Like I say, the underpinning is 1/4 plank with...
