As the title states, I'm hoping we have a few masons and construction folks on the forum that can give me some guidance.
My home was built in the mid-70s and it appears what are cinder blocks were used to form the exterior walls on the sides and rear of the house. The back side of my home is 3/4 of the way underground, but the front is completely above ground and acts as our main entrance. The ground slopes downward on the sides of the house toward the front of the home. I'm not sure what the name for these types of builds are called, but will take some pictures if needed to help visualize my setup.
The room that I will be dedicating to my mining farm, until it's large enough to be re-located to it's own facility, is in the location of these blocks. I was thinking about having a professional knock a hole large enough in the wall to to accommodate a 10" exhaust fan. My fear is if it isn't done correctly, that this could cause foundation issues. So I'm trying to figure out if this is a good idea and who the proper professional is to call to have the work done.
Another option would be to run hard ducting from the room to my laundry room (biggest is diameter would be 4") and either feed the hot air into my dryer vent, or have the small 10"x20" window in the laundry room removed and have an enclosure built that will be used as my exhaust exit.
So pro's...what do you think?
