P4180168.gif Here is a photo of a dryer vent & why they are not supposed to be screened. I have heard of saving your pocket change for a rainy day, but saving the pocket lint? This was someone’s idea to keep out the birds; it took quite a bit of work to make it this nice. I just had to share this one!
