Follow-up, venting dryer through utility stack

BTW, the guy who vented his dryer, now in a new location from the
way the apartment was originally designed**, ran the white
plastic, probably-soft-and-flexible-with-a-coil-spring-inside hose
maybe 6 feet from the hole and down. If *I* had done that, I
would have run it maybe 6 inches or maybe 2 feet from the hole,
and painted the hose black so that they neighbors wouldn't notice
it. He's always working on a project, I'm told, and I think he
thinks he's the only one who looks in the utility stack/cabinet.


**These apartments were 2BR, kitchen, little laundry room***,
dining area, and large living room. At first. Then later, two
more BRs were added to every apartmeent I think, all 3 floors of 3
matching buildings, and it only cost her about $5000^^. Later
still, 2 more BRs were added, which puts the BR I'm staying in as
separate by two other BRs more or less used for storage now
(although she's used them for grandkids and maybe kids), so she
doesn't hear me and I don't hear her. She didn't say how much
the second pair of rooms cost her. But in return, someone who
owned something built two more floors on top**** of the building
which were sold for a million or so each.

And the residents put up with this construction and lived here at
the same time. There's a building a block down the street which
is also being made taller, all that shows is bare concrete, rough
from the forms, and scaffolding, and tarps, and she thinks the
people are still living there. I'm going to go down and check
some time.

****as oppposed to underneath the building or between floors 2 and
3.

^^Somewhere along the line there seems to have been a deal, that
the current owners would get either the first two or the second
two added rooms, plus a balcony and an elevator next to the
balcony (at the other end of the living room from the existing
stairwell) Since she lives on the first (really the second)
floor, it's easier to use the stairs unless one has something big
or heavy.


***My landlady has a large fridge/freezer on the left and a dryer
stacked on a washer on the right.

So that's why the guy moved his laundry room, to make the current
one a better pantry/kitchen add-on. She too plans to move the
laundry room to the BR next to mine, but that has an outside wall,
and the outside wall even has a capped hole in the wall for the
dryer vent. Why the other guy didnt' use that, i don't know.


Sorry to say this, but I have seldom read such inane convoluted
posts. The same could be said for your post on gasoline.

I wonder how many posters fall asleep reading them?

hmm...uhhh...snort...what? Oh man, you woke me up.
