Dryer: Vented! Bring on the Laundry

Our basement is straight out a horror film (think cockroaches and large spiders), but I've never been so excited to do laundry. This washer/dryer set is at least 3 times as big as any combo I've used in years.

And it's vented! It may be a ghetto rigged, but I am okay with that. Instead of drilling through the brick we went through the window. Here was the process:

1. We removed a glass pane from the original window
2. Cut the plywood to the size of the glass pane
3. Spray paint the wood so that it won't expand or shrink
4. Cut a vent-sized hole in the plywood (we used a sawzall- look out kids)
5. Install the plywood into the window pane, screw the vent hood to the plywood, then hook up the dryer.
