I know what an island vent is. I’m saying he didn’t install the faucet. It’s not a reno, he just redid the countertops.

As far as the vent goes, we have no idea what the plumbing actually looks like. So speculating is pointless.

why would an island vent be proper here? it's on an exterior wall and it's an old house, it probably has an actual vent.

also based on the fixture i'm guessing that's been there. not exactly something you can go down to home depot and purchase in 2023.

people still think if they're exposed to asbestos once they are as good as dead. you won't change their minds. lol

Not difficult when you have a long drill bit.

Well OP said the hole for the vent goes through the floor, not the ceiling.

You don’t know what you’re talking about. ANY builder with more than 2 brain cells frames the rear wall of a laundry room with 2x6s explicitly for the purpose of running the dryer vent through it….

But he needs to cut the hole in the bottom plate, not the studs themselves.

This is why /r/DIY is the worst. A bunch of people watch the same Technology Connections video and think US electrical plugs are this murderous boogeyman lurking in the shadows.

If they’re so dangerous show me all the deaths. Show me the injuries. You can’t, because statistically they don’t exist. You’re an order of magnitude more likely to be mauled by a bear than injured by a NEMA connector.

Chill out. They’re fine.

They work just fine. They’re not “as good” as UK plugs but they’re functional and safe. Calling them “awful” is ridiculous.

The US has replaceable plugs too.
