Take the tour ×  I have a laundry room in the basement. There is
no exhaust vent for the dryer. Currently we just open the window
when drying, but this is not the greatest solution. There is a
window and it is double paned glass. It seems to me this is
probably the easiest option. I am afraid of damaging the window
of course.  Should I try drilling/cutting the hole in the window
for the dryer vent? Or should I have a professional do it?  The
other option would be to drill a vent hole in the foundation.
The window itself is "European Style" in that it has a hinge on
one side to be opened inwards and can also be "tipped" inwards.
FYI- I am in Europe and they do not use a lumber flooring
system(here it is all concrete + cinder blocks), otherwise I
would just go up and through the floor joists the old fashioned
way. ;-)  share|improve this question add comment  4 Answers  up
