So duct out to the garage, then up to its ceiling, and inside that go to wherever? If you're willing to peel open the wall, go up _inside_ the garage wall? -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

No, don't see any easy way to run a duct inside the ceiling other than out into the garage, but maybe I could go through the ceiling over the garage to the outside wall. The issue there is that would be the front of the house, so aesthetically that would be a challenge.

I don't think that will meet fire code -- garage walls are usually thicker sheetrock and a fire door, you put a penetration in there and if a car catches fire or something, you have a problem --FT On 3/7/21 6:06 PM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes wrote: Yeah, it occurred to me that you also might have the possibility of getting smells from the garage into the bathroom, too.
