   The most direct place for me to put my clothes dryer exhast vent is under the front porch. I'm worried however that dumping all this moisture under the porch will cause the porch to rot much more quickly than it would otherwise.

   The area under the porch will not be closed in, and there's about 3 feet of space between the ground and porch floor. I live Ottawa, Canada (i.e we see both hot humid weather, and cold) if matters.

   Should I put the exhaust under the porch, or put a couple of bends in it and bring it out somewhere else?

   *Caleb, I have the same situation and I live near you. I re-directed the duct. It's not a good idea to have moisture laden exhaust blowing under wood. The humide exhaust will freeze on the bottom of the floor boards in the winter and it will blow into your face during the summer when you're relaxing on the porch. Either re-direct it on the inside and bring it out somewhere else, or bring it out where you said it's convenient but extend it out to the side of the porch. Check with your local code on ducting outside the home.Gaby

   *Jack, you're so wordy these days. At least you solved the "9" issue you were having. I may have caught it, tho.(in which case, your response would have been Nein!)

   *The moisture being dumped under your deck is one thing.....what about all of that hot air blowing up between your legs on a hot July day?
