If you look closely at the following the picture—-you should be able to see three exhaust vent caps hidden in the shadow between the side of the house and the rockery steps.
A question comes to mind.
How is anyone going to be able to inspect or maintain these caps?
The kicker is that one cap is a screened dryer vent. All vents need to be maintained—-especially dryer vents. Dryer vent caps should never have screens installed in the cap to begin with—-they clog up quick enough without a screen. It will be virtually impossible to maintain these caps with the stones installed this close.
Perhaps the rockery installer was stoned while setting these 800+ pound stones.
Someone is going to have to get stoned again and move them far enough away to create adequate access.

Good grief! That is ridiculous! I love that you examine things so close. Excellent work.
We sweep dryer vents as part of our chimney sweeping business and know how flammable lint can be especially when the heated air can not escape due to a blockage. This is a house fire waiting to happen. Good eye in finding this defect.
