how much of an expense is it normally to vent 4 lines from the attic through the roof?

Hi, my home was built in 1987 and we had an inspection recently since we are selling the home. the inspector said that since my bath exhaust fans vented directly to the attic that they were not to code.... I am guessing that in 1987 bath fans were allowed via code to vent to the attic. I am in Georgia. Does anyone here know?

The return in the kitchen is actually in the breakfast room and is about 20 ft from the range, oven and fridge area. Would that make a difference?

I am trying to increase the depth of my basement garage so we can fit a car inside. Today it is only 15' deep. I have a long closet on the other side of the garage wall and it has our basement furnance in it. Can I simply tear out the wall between the garage and this long closet area? It would give me about 3 additional feet which is deep enough for a car to be parked in it. Do I need to raise the furnance off the ground by 18" Or should I try and build a closet around the unit after the wall is removed to isolate it from the garage? Or should I just leave it on the floor? I was going to get rid of the drop ceiling in the garage and replace with spray foam, roll insulation and then sheet rock. Any chance i get get the job done for $2k? The garage now is 15' x 17' Click to Enlarge 33.53 KB
