yeah but the walls have fireblocks and braces, plus a 4 inch pvc may
not fit inside the 2 by 4 wall cavity.......
sewer lines all 4 inch.
theres a indoor vent thats added o a stub of a sewer line, above the
water level.
wonder if they are made in 4 inch.
i have even thought about running a vent up the now abandoned furnace
flue........
given trhe chimney construction that wouldnt be easy, and my wife
talks about adding a fireplace using the old furnace flue. dont know
how practical that is. its a lined chimney
