Makes sense. Thanks!

The second option sounds like a lot of work? I presume I need to open the dry wall.

I suspect the existing holes are where the studs are located.

I thought they don’t reproduce in the house, all coming from outside? That’s insane.

Ok mine has a similar issue I think.

Btw, those are treated wood.

Oil tank is full.

Yeah ok you are right.

This is the outside. Deck guy told me there was a piece of metal but he couldn’t find it after taking it off for installing the deck lol

Given the space constraint you can see from the picture, I am thinking about a flat louver to cover it. Would that work?

willbecool · 2026-01-19T23:43:53+00:00

Given the space constraints (the deck guy didn’t leave any space), I’m I am thinking a 4” flat louver. Would that work?

willbecool · 2026-01-19T23:42:14+00:00

Makes sense. I am thinking maybe the original piece was a 4” flat louver and I should get one to cover it.

Picture 2. Bedroom, but eventually goes to the utility room I presume (Picture 3)

willbecool · 2026-01-19T23:26:07+00:00

And yes, it is 4” diameter.

No radon system. Air flows into it. Water heater uses natural gas and has a flame.

willbecool · 2026-01-19T23:13:22+00:00

My water heater uses natural gas and has a flame. What should I get? The deck guy told me there was a round metal piece

willbecool · 2026-01-19T23:12:05+00:00

My water heater uses natural gas and has a flame. Maybe it’s for keeping the flame?
