No soffits on this place at all (not very common IMHO out here in the
Los Angeles area).. It's a rather big job to punch through the stucco
I've got without going down the wall a bit to put the vent in and I'm
not sure I like that idea.. Now, I could make the vent hose travel
about 20' to the back side of the house where I could place a more normal
vent on a vertical wall.. If I do that, is my existing braun vent motor
going to be able to push air out that far and is there an issue with
the elevation of the hose?
