House fun: Dryer vent
My dryer takes too long to dry (more than its max setting), and the automatic mode doesn't work. So I looked into ducting. I quickly discovered that the best you can do is rigid metal ducting direct from the dryer to the wall, and the worst you can do is thin flammable vinyl ducting with a substantial detour trapping lint.
My ducting was about as bad as it could be while still getting air out of the house. Amazingly, it wasn't actually clogged.
One end of the duct was just stuffed into the dryer outlet. I shortened it and attached it thoroughly to both ends with duct tape. I'll be looking into the rigid stuff. Unfortunately, I doubt this will actually make my dryer work better.
