Hazdaz ,

You’re just not giving us enough info to help you out.

My immediate suggestion as im reading the post would be to extend a vent straight up through the roof of the garage, but then you claim there is no easy way to vent outside.

Without sketches of the layout of the house and/or photos I’m not sure how we can help. Is there a window in the laundry room? Can you set up a flexible vent that goes out there?

I’ve uploaded a rough layout. Straight up is the second floor of the house. No windows in the laundry room.

Hazdaz ,

Now I am even more confused… why can’t you go north from the laundry room? (assuming up is “north” in your picture).

Looks like that image is the dryer itself, right? It is on an outside wall (even if the wall itself has no window). That wouldn’t just be a solution, it would be the preferred solution because you can keeping the ductwork as short as possible (less condensation as the air cools and dew forms on the inside of the vent.

The other option would be a “U” shaped vent which went into the garage as shown with the red dot, and then a 180 degree bend to go out the exterior wall of the garage. 180 degrees is not ideal, but looks like it could be done in a short distance.

Nice hatchwork in the picture, BTW

Oh crap, I can see how lousy my drawing is. I tried to keep it simple but it’s so simple that it’s misleading.

North of this drawing is a whole bunch of additional rooms. It’s not an exterior wall.

Hazdaz ,

Oh! That changes everything. So are there more rooms “north” of the garage? You can’t just add a 90 degree elbow and go through that wall?

I can’t even see the drawing. Perhaps an incompatibility between lemmy and kbin.
