My house has been remodeled repeatedly. At some point, my guess in the 70's, a little addition out the back was done off the bathroom. It's just big enough to hold a standard 5' tub plus a 18" wide cupboard at the pipe end.
This is over a very small concrete-floored crawl space. The rest of the hose has basement.
The geniuses who did this ran a 6" duct that dumps into the crawl space (which is open to the cupboard) and put a vent in the bottom of the cupboard between the cupboard/crawl and the bathroom.
This is just blatantly wrong, right? I assume they were worried about pipes freezing but... It really smells bad when the HVAC runs.
My thought is to properly separate the cupboard from the crawl, remove the duct and put in a normal floor register.
Sound like a reasonable plan?
