My exhaust and my intake are about 2 feet apart but they run up through the soffit and shingles and out the roof. I have been waiting to fix that until we need a new roof. It was like that when we bought the house and i have never seen that set up on any other house before. It froze up again this morning but the wife had to climb the ladder and break the ice through the pipe cause i was at work.
