At least we know now why people who think in such a way never learn....

Went from sad to comical..

 

Dang tape showed up today. It turned out OK. Notice the ideally placed dryer vent. I need to try and direct it differently. Not sure how...

 

LOL, - yep...something else for the punch list.

I wonder how many people totally ignored that before you noticed lol.


EDIT: referring to the dryer vent.

 

I bet several people ignored it, lol.

I'm not so sure what I'll do. The A/C is working well though. It's amazing how much that tape helps out.

EDIT: I do think I will put something like this around it this summer, however..... with a weed barrier, of course.

 

Looks like a good job to me, White.

As for the dryer vent, while I probably would have installed it in a different spot, with the amount of air that A/C unit moves, and how often both might he running at the same time, I doubt it's having any measurable effect on its efficiency.

On a different topic entirely....

93??? I hope I'm that good at 83!

 

As long as the dryer filter doesn't let much lint through to reduce the AC's heat exchange. It's even a good reminder to run the dryer at night, assuming the AC unit is not required then. But given the height of the ground, a crawl space or garage location is hinted at, so, just move the vent discharge, someday. If it's a heat exchanger, the hot air would help in the winter, in which case, add the other vent and a valve or 2 dampers for a seasonal swap of discharge choices.

 

Up to you but, with my kids family and their 3 little ones... the washer and dryer never stop. Personally I'd dummy that one and install a another vent elsewhere. Your AC unit will surely thank you.

 

Holey...Captain James T Kirk 93 ?

Amazing...doesn't look it.

 

I did clean a lot of dryer lint out of it. i have a newer/better dryer since the AC unit last ran, so I don't know what effect that will have.
