Hello!
We are remodeling our kitchen and found this vent arrangement behind the kitchen wall. We'd like to expand the window, but cannot without raising the level of the window to 54" (which is what the gc did) above the ground due to the vent. I'd like to get the window back down to a regular height.
Framing didn't pass inspection, so we have more time to take a look and come up with alternatives.
Some points:
* The vent also carries the laundry sink
* There's a second floor but no plumbing upstairs
My understanding is the piping could me moved to the right and we could do some 45s back to the existing roof vent but I don't know how big a deal that would be for the basement situation - the current piping is sent through a hole cut in the block foundation.
Thanks!
