We would like to move our washer and dryer to a closet in the middle of
our house, so we can use the laundry room space to enlarge our kitchen.
The question is what to do with the exhaust vent for the dryer. This
closet runs right in the middle, under the highest point in our roof,
one floor, hip style roof. The inside ceilings are 8 ft high, couldn't
tell you how high the roof is as I've never been in the attic. I'd be
surprised if you can stand upright in the center however. Given this
lack of info, the appliance sales guy said I might as well hang laundry
out to dry on a line, that the exhaust wouldn't be able to travel up
that far well enough to allow the clothes to dry quickly enough to be
acceptable. Running the vent without going into the ceiling at least
would be an extremely involved process. We can simply go into the
ceiling then horizontally out to one of the eaves, but that would add
two more 90 degree turns. Any thoughts?
