| Obviously this vent
was installed backwards and upside down.
It's hard to imagine, I believe
there are at least four ways to install this vent and the maintenance
man picked one of the three wrong ways to install it.
I guess the odds
were against him from the beginning.
Home Repair Tip: You could probably remove this wall vent, turn it
around, turn it right side up and then install it correctly.
It's not
going to be installed properly, and you could be looking at some serious
water damage in the future, depending upon the location of this room
vent.
Something like this isn't that hard to fix properly, and I would
recommend that it should be fixed and that would require removing some
of the stucco around the perimeter of the vent and then purchasing the
correct vent and installing it with the proper flashing paper and then
restuccoing the exterior wall.
