    Pardon me while I … vent. The guys who put the siding on my house installed the dryer vent on the bottom. It’s basically a flimsy aluminum tube shoved through a hole in the wall with four flimsy plastic flaps to shut out the weather. It’s not screwed or glued or fastened to the wall… Read.

Probably not, but I’m going to answer that rhetorical question anyway: person woman man camera TV I went paddling on the lake this morning.
