If only we could all live in utopia, Jerry. I'm just joking. Not trying to be a smart ass. I think it's great that the code inspectors are that concerned in your area. Here in central Arkansas I'm not sure the inspectors even look to see if a dryer vent is installed let along where it goes or how long it is. I say that because I inspected two houses this month, one was new construction and the other a resale about 4 years old and both had dryer vents exiting into the attic. I think the city of Little Rock only has two or three code enforcement inspectors. To much work to do the kind of job that needs to be done.

Just wanted you to know that I think you are very knowledgeable and I enjoy reading your replies.
