i just moved into a new house and the dryer vent on the outside of my house is ancient and falling apart (probably from the 50s or 60s). Its a metal vent with a long metal pipe that goes into my house (one piece) and is screwed to an elbow and another piece which is all contained inside a drywalled wall (so no way for me to unscrew it). The vent on the outside is falling apart, so I need to replace it, but I cant get it off because its screwed to another pipe way inside the wall. My question is, could I just hacksaw it off, and jam the new plastic vent on the end of the pipe?
