Doesn't take much to move those flaps. Why would the exhaust fan be blowing on the plants? Snow melts from doing laundry anyway
washing clothes once a week or every 2 weeks ...that is normal
but u are talking every single day dumping out 110/120 degree air
where my vent is we have mint plants growing so when it kicks on smells nice.......other ppl i know have bushes infront of it to hide it .....
u can take the flap off but still has the hood on it at the 45 degree angle if u rip that off it is a strait pipe tho cinderblock wall .......putting anything else there but the standard dryer vent will look odd so will need something infront of it
he was not running a filter in any of the designs he showed .......i was the first person who told him to change that aspect of it .......he was running intake from outside pass over lights dump outside (even that is a bad idea unless in a area where humidity is always low with little rain ) passing air from outside like that increases the chance of moisture getting on the hot bulb and it going boom
and the CFM on what he would get ....he has it set up on the wall the fan directly dumping it out .....so that is going to make pressure sucking it but the power of it going out is still going to be near 300/280 since it has no wind breaks traveling down ducting before he ejects it
i had to think about all these things i have a state trooper next door less then 30 feet from my back door .....and he has a teen girl and boy coming up
