Remodeled cabin (not like D. Boone lived in) yesterday, vaulted ceilings, new metal roof, and no thru roof plumbing vent to daylight anywhere, or thru gable ends as we see that occasionally so they don't shear off under snow and ice.
Anyway I think they whacked it off so as not to put a hole in their new roof.
Question: is there any circumstance where vent stack NOT to exterior air is allowed, including AAV ( Studor type / air admittance valve) as my understanding is they too have to be accessible, above insulation, and they still need to have at least one outside vent stack?
thanks
Jerry

My understanding is the same as your understanding.

We have an understanding. Clearly that is to be understood.

I do believe that I understand that it is understood that y'all have an understanding.

I don't think I understand, could you run through that again? Understand?

You'll have to pardon all these guys, Jerry. They don't understand.

You think you understand what we think that we understand what they did not understand. Do you understand.
Have a good day inspecting.
