Do I understand you in that the dryer was vented into the bedroom? Wow....

[Tom Raymond]

If I'm reading this right that is a heat duct and register. I like it, it made me smile.

There is a new mini-duct system... But I do not think that is it!

I must say that using a valve to divert the excess heat from the dryer to the adjacent space (such as a garage) in the winter may not be a bad way to go from an efficiency standpoint. I do not know what the code says about that though....[:-crazy]

not funny

OK...so how about this "heated" bedroom closet from today. Judging from the gaps at the panel, the place had an electric furnace originally. When they changed to a gas furnace and water heater, this must have been the most direct route to the roof. If it wasn't so downright dangerous I'd give them points for a nice, neat install.

Were there proper clearances and firstops?[:-dunce]

[Richard Moore]

Yes to both, assuming you aren't counting clothes and other stuff. I'm recommending it gets boxed in with a dry-walled chase. Also suggesting a CO monitor for that bedroom.

Did they mention how nice it was to have warm clothes to put on during those cold mornings.
