This is the best home repair channel. Thank you for the good content. I am doing some duct work on my dryer this week. I watched your drywall repair video last night. Good stuff!

[@HomeRepairTutor]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@tedf3248]

very good, clear instructions, easy to replicate in my situation

[@mohammedhshaik7028]

Thank you 👍

I like the tip on using a star pattern. I’ve installed them before and they walk a little bit and misalign the holes when I’m attaching it.

Do have a video doing a bathroom outside vent on the second floor on a brick house?

[@klynn1205]

How do you access the ducting to clean it if you seal the vent to the wall? Do you have to basically uninstall and reinstall the vent every time you want to clean the line?

[@Dominatingfox]

Great video. Thumbs up Something I would have liked to see is how you would have cleaned the new air duct after installation and on the new air duct, can't rodents get in through the outside with the opening of that outlet? So maybe a view of the outlet how that looks compared to the old one

[@HomeRepairTutor]

I cleaned the ductwork inside the home before installing the new vent, used the same brush attachment. The new vent has a spring loaded door that opens when the dryer is being used. Then it shuts when the dryer is done. The vent’s door has a foam pad that seals tight to prevent any insects or rodents from entering the ductwork

@@HomeRepairTutor Awesome info. Thank you

[@thisdudeandhiswife8108]

Dude…..this was a great video….but I have been trying to figure out how to fix the tube INSIDE my dryer….i got the vent tubing but the solid tube from inside the dryer came out. I don’t even know what that part is called so I can’t figure out what I’m searching for.

[@FixItWithMe]

What brand is the semi rigid interior ductwork that u used? Super helpful video!! I just subscribed!! :)

[@aruba8695]

Wire scraper

Very informative video thanks My vent seems to lead to the brick outer wall at a 90 degree angle. Any tips on how to replace the 4” piping that’s at an angle? All the videos I’ve seen are straight shots which makes the installation easier. Not sure why my builder decided to go at an angle

[@chrisjeffery1594]

You can buy just the dryer vent exhaust cover without the ductwork attached. It will take a little prying with a flat head screwdriver but they are designed to pop off without removing the metal ductwork. The cover by itself is about $7.

Did you forget to provide links for the tools/supplies?

[@HomeRepairTutor]

The list is in the description but I haven’t added any links yet, did you want a specific one? I’d be happy to help

[@mjbjr1944]

@@HomeRepairTutor Thanks for your kind offer but I've been following your videos from way back when so I'm pretty well stocked up. The list is there in the "Show more" area but with out any hyperlinks though.

Use a flat ceramic blade scraper

[@tomevans4402]

I helped a guy clean a ten foot drier vent. He stuck a leaf blower into it from inside the house. What mess😂

[@HomeRepairTutor]

Haha, I guess that’s another way of doing it 🙌🏼

[@ptg01]

Aren't all ductwork for dryer vent 4" ?

[@georgevalente4223]

Did you vacuum the pipe first??

[@HomeRepairTutor]

I didn’t but you could prior to cleaning the ductwork then again after that step

[@michaelrussell499]

My vet is about 13 feet from dryer

[@HomeRepairTutor]

You’ll need to extend the ductwork

[@abelromandelrio5367]

It's next to the ac unit. 👎

[@Jan-pj7gn]

So is mine, blowing lent all over the fins of the AC Unit !

[@foolishcreations2259]

Drilling tapcons gets dusty to you lmfao. Try installing a 3/4” shot into a ceiling to drop your plumbing hangers… now that’s fun

[@hubert-williams3379]

Oh wow .. we don't wanna harm insects... really dude??
