so i need some creativity, cause i have a good space 5x6
anyway, I need to figure out how to ventilate my space. only thinkg i can come up with is my recess lighting fixture. However, I can't see into the attic and I live in a townhome that shares 2 walls. The door is not an option maybe the floor? the back wall is connected to my neighbors closet the left wall goes to my bathroom the tub is right there. and the right wall is the top of my stairs any advice?

Can you vent exhaust into the room outside this space?

not really cause my wife watches kids in the day time and that is my room and sometimes the kids play there. really ceiling or floor seems like my only option has anyone ever taken out a can light and vented through it here?

Just some condierations for your venting issues.

The best route would be to the attic, HOWEVER, you cant just stop there.

Dumping warm, moist air into your attic space will not make you a happy person, espcially if u have winter months where u live - mould, mildew, smelly and funky....

Not too mention the town house neighbours who share not only your walls but prob some attic space too, who may report a funky smell coming from somewhere:o

You will need to carry the vent not only into the attic and out the soffits so the air is ejected out of the attic.

Can you not access your attic, is that also part of the issue?

yeah it is basically a closed attic i am thinking now if i exhaust it through the front of the closet not the door but the front wall portion and keep something there to cover the hole painting what have you in case of an unexpected visitor then my only problem is intake and i can just open the door sometimes when the lights are on. Anyhow I am doing a two rubbermaid box i am starting my zen filter tomorrow because this querkle stinks bad. so then if i decide to expand i will try and do it through the front back into my room which has lots of nice windows.
thanks guys
