This is the vent fan. Notice the wood sticking out above it. That's to hold up the roof of my overspray cover. It spins back when not in use as well.

Inside the booth, I made thin shelves and placed extra corkboard since I can use all the storage I can muster in my small space.

To make the hole for the dryer vent, my father-in-law (Doug) first used a rotary hammer, which is like a big concrete drill, to make a ring of holes. Kind like a dotted line.

Next he hammered out the hole on both ends.

Here is a shot of Doug hammering out the hole for the vent.

We used a 2 inch scrap piece of PVC pipe to fit through the hole. We didn't want to weeken the foundation, so we needed something that would fit through the blocks natural holes.

Then we duct taped an 8 foot flexible dryer tube to the inside PVC.

I wanted the part that connects to the fan to be movable so that I can move the vent out of the way so I can still use my shelves. I found that a mailing tube that I had fit very snugly on the fan exhaust pipe. So I took that tube, cut it, and taped it to the other end of the dryer pipe.

I made a hook on top so that I could hang the suspended end from the ceiling to get it out of my way.
