I only plan on doing it in the winter where the humidity is not a problem for me. In the summer I plan to re attatch to the outside vent.
Thanks. I am going to try the screen idea on the store bought unit and see if that helps. thanks for you getting back to me.

Yes, That is exactly the one I bought. It does seem to collect lint in the water but it seems to put a “haze” in the house when the dryer (electric) is running. I would be curious to see your home made version. I like having it vent inside in the winter I just want it to be cleaner than it appears to be now.
If anyone is aware of a more energy efficient model of venting a dryer I would appreciate your help. I can’t belive that there isn’t a better way to vent a dryer. The current methods are like builing a wall but not putting any insulation in it.
I don’t know what the brand name is but it is a cylinder that elbows 90 deg. on outside of house and has a cap or “shuttle” that floats inside of the cylinder when the dryer is on allowing the air to escape out the bottom. Claims to save energy but not been my experience. If that’s the best I might have to live with the lint during the winter. Any suggestions for an energy efficient outside vent? I live in Wisconsin so winters can be cold here.
Thanks for your input. I have a contractor coming out tomm. who does the foam insulation in older homes. I hope to have a better idea which way to go after that.

I wouldn’t normally respond to something like this but I find it unbelievable that this guy is trying to make such an issue about this.
Do you honestly believe that the tools were a result of damage by manufacturer defect? That’s what warranties were designed to cover. What manufacturer can cover their product by something like this? I am sorry you had a fire but That’s why people buy insurance on their home and car and ….
Sears is a good company and has always stood behind their products when I have had a problem. If this had happened to me common sense would have kept me from even thinking that somehow they were responsible for my loss.My house was built in 1892. The exterior is brick and then there is tongue and grove (3/4″) under that attached to 2×5 studs then the lathe boards and plaster over that. So I do have a wall cavity a true 4″ in depth.
I like the foam option too and have a contractor coming out on monday to take a look at the job.
I was thinking about blow in cellulose because of cost savings (I assume) and I am fairly handy.
Thank you all for any help you can give me in this.Jeff
