I'm going to call the building department for my area, but they're closed today.
I need to vent two bathroom fans. I was going to vent them through the roof, buy my friend has me terrified that no matter how hard I try, I won't be able to stop the vent cap from leaking. So, I'm thinking about venting them through a soffit vent. However, I might not have a place on the side of the house that's far enough away from windows or my deck. Does anyone know what a typical code says about venting bathroom fans -- how far does the vent cap have to be from windows or areas where people might reside (like my deck)?
Thanks!
