Ouch. I heard that. 😵💫 Thanks for the detailed breakdown of the install. Much appreciated. (I want one! I want a spouse who helps and who laughs a lot! 👍🏻😆)
Hi breakheart orchard.... Watching you from Aberdeenshire in Scotland. My husband was an avid follower of your channel, he was a joiner by trade but could turn his hands to most things. We always watched your vlogs together but sadly he passed away in February of this year with a terminal illness but i carry on watching your videos to see how you are getting on. He always wished he had done a project like yours. I will keep on watching you to see how you are getting on, love to you both from Caroline X
Hi Caroline. I teared up a bit reading this. So sorry for the huge loss. This life is so short. David could keep this place going if I were to go first. I however, cannot maintain this without him. We will see what the future holds. I love your courage. Thank you for still watching. You are in my prayers today.
@@jefannavital2187 thank you so much for your caring words Jefannan I will always watch your channel and keep up how you are getting along ..... Love to David and yourself xxxx
@@breakheartorchard4761 you get so serious when you start something new on the house. It's a good thing you have Jeffana there to add a little levity and keep you grounded. 😉
Good morning Break Heart and family. Wow such a nice time for my favorite vlog while relaxing Abit. Hopefully all is well as we continue to build. Let's go have some fun 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Thank you! Most times I cringe when I watch these and it is really hard for me to talk on camera. Most times a sweaty mess in these vids. Thank you for being here with all our flaws.
My laundry room would need a 35' vent and at least 1 90 so right into assisted venting. Going through the roof is not an option in a high fire zone. So my solution is to use a heat pump dryer. No venting necessary but a bit longer drying times. I'm building an ICF house so a vent sleeve is still going to be there before I pour just in case it's needed in the future.
Even if only 1/8” is protruding? I agree that the interior of the ductwork is better off without the screws penetrating into the inside but code says mechanical connection required. Is aluminum/aluminium/foil tape mechanical? The tape creates a physical bond through the chemistry of the adhesive, but isn’t it also mechanical?
You’re correct about what code says although from years of installing these I’ve found that premium foil tape squeegeed properly or mastic is a solid connection for horizontal runs. I typically install very short rivets on the vertical portions of the vent where the downward force of the weight could cause it to pull apart.I also make sure to have the vent properly secured/supported every 4 ft. Installing screws on every crimped section is unnecessary and will lead to more lint accumulation especially on longer runs. I feel the way dryer vents are designed to connect is flawed and the mechanical fastener should be something other screws/rivets. Imo I think twist lock ends similar to B vent would make more sense.
Definately would have. It is a mark of inexperience. We had the house designed and loved the layout. We didn’t know to think about the location of the laundry.
I chuckled at the last shot where the bit breaks. Ya held it together there. I would have been screaming bloody murder. Anyway, I hate those long dryer vent runs, especially if they have a 90 in them. I've owned them too. A helpful hint is to pick up one of those small round fiberglass brushes that attach to the end of an extension pole. A lot of folks use them to clean spider webs from screen enclosures. You can rig an eye bolt to it and tie heavy fishing line or braid. I tie a large nut to the line and drop the nut through the pipe and then pull the brush through to clean out the pipe.
Don't know if you thought about it but putting the vent on the side might make things a lot easier when you get ready to hang drywall so that the pipe is in the wall
Don't know if you gave it any thought I would have made a 2x4 box around the dryer vent box laid the two before box up against the 16 centered to before and cut out the two before and then reattach it to the two before box to keep everything inspect for drywall
@@breakheartorchard4761Thats what I’m thinking. If you bought the exterior vent hood from the same manufacturer, it’s made from powder-coated metal and has magnets to keep the flap closed when. Not in use. I’m about to buy and install one myself shortly.
Anyone watching that is a novice please take extra care when using a pneumatic nailer - I’d avoid bystanders ring anywhere near as once in a while a nail may misfire and go where it wants. A framing nail easily soars 100 yards… quickly . Probably won’t kill someone but could be a big issue if it hit you like directly in a place you don’t want it.. obviously fire away from all body parts especially fingers
Wow! Why can't you use flexible hose? What is the purpose of the dryer pan (I think that's what you called it)? I think your code there is a lot tougher than Colorado. Interesting.....🙂
They call it a dryer box. It is actually quite nifty. It sits recessed into the wall which allows you to Connect your flexible line to the straight pipe in that little box area. The dryer can go back all the way to the wall and the flexible pipe doesn’t get crushed. Outside of the wall is the only place you can use the flexible pipe and I think that for the most part, most of Colorado has the same rules as us. Although It seems we have a few “extra” things here and there.
@@breakheartorchard4761 I've learned so much from your build its not even funny. Pretty cool to be able to set your dryer flush with the wall. Thank you for the information. I really appreciate it.🙂
I don’t known how that would meet code. To keep it from blowing lint up into a non running dryer you would have to have some sort of passive flap door. From a practical standpoint it seems like a point of failure.
Ouch. I heard that. 😵💫 Thanks for the detailed breakdown of the install. Much appreciated. (I want one! I want a spouse who helps and who laughs a lot! 👍🏻😆)
Hello break heart orchard..nice to see you both again. 👍😍🥰💖💖💖
Wow you guys really had a great day on the built today. Not much head scratching 😃😂😃
Yes it was fun and definitely nice to get that piece out of the way.
Glad to see you where having fun doing this.
It was good to knock this out of the way.

Good thing she’s keeping an eye on the pipe
Very nice house
Thank you.
LOL, Jeffana was a great help with the project. 🤣🤣
She usually is.

We installed the same dryer box (upside down). We needed the real estate since our laundry closet was only 31” deep. It’s working great…
It has worked great so far
Thanks for sharing
No screws for dryer vent, only sealant/tape because the screws catch the lint…

Stay safe.
As someone who’s been cleaning these professionally for a very long time, Id suggest taking out those screws. Great video!

Nice work Dude!!!👍👍
Cool video. Love to see it. I think it would’ve been easier to place the dryer on an exterior wall if possible.
Definately would have. It is a mark of inexperience. We had the house designed and loved the layout. We didn’t know to think about the location of the laundry.
Nice video 👍👍💪👷♂️💐
I think I might upgrade to a condenser dryer when the times comes, then all I need is to run the drain line. Thanks for the insightful video!
As you put in the dryer vent, tape all the joints so moisture condensing doesn't drip on ceiling drywall or down the walls!!
We sealed up everything

pack rock wool insulation along the entire run, to keep down noise and keep the hot temperatures inside the vent pipe/tube

Good job. My only criticism is I have not had good longevity with those little multi vane vent hoods .But I know aesthetics was very important here.
You talking about the piece that goes outside, thru the wall?
@@breakheartorchard4761Thats what I’m thinking. If you bought the exterior vent hood from the same manufacturer, it’s made from powder-coated metal and has magnets to keep the flap closed when. Not in use. I’m about to buy and install one myself shortly.
Is plumbing and electrical done now? Thanks for the laughs, enjoy today video...😏
We are so close. We have a list and it is dwindling fast.
Sue! So close. Today felt like huge movement forward..
Have you posted a floor plan of this house yet? Love how it's bardo-style but not quite a bardo. Would love to see a floorplan
May include that once we get the drywall going
👌👌🏻
amazing tutorial, don't forget to stop by my place, okay? greetings Indonesian workers

Why not have the washer/dryer positioned on an outside wall?? Just seems way more feasible than in the middle of the house
House was designed to maximize window space and interaction with the mountain. Outer wall space is at a premium.
@@breakheartorchard4761 Who is going to clean that dryer vent? They can be fire hazards with all the lint.
@@syorio7826 the same guy who built the house.

👋👍😁😉😊🙋♂️
Can I add an exhaust fan duct to an existing dryer ventilation duct?
I don’t known how that would meet code. To keep it from blowing lint up into a non running dryer you would have to have some sort of passive flap door. From a practical standpoint it seems like a point of failure.
why you have pipe stiking out why you not do it state up in side the wall not have pipe sticking nout
That is a load bearing wall. I don’t want to cut it. So I made a false wall behind it
did you call those ass-king floors?😁
Acid stain. It was a journey.
