Default Vent covers

Something so little that we tend to forget about it. We just found out that our current vent covers (and why they do not fit) is because they were made for a mobile home, like a double or triple wide. What? This house has been around for 30 years, who the heck did that? Anyway we decided we are going to replace them all this weekend so off to Home Depot we go!

They are that outdated? Don't get rid of them. They're antiques. :P At the last place I lived, I replaced all the vents. The people that painted them before we moved in apparently put them back in place before the paint dried so you can see where all the paint ran down. Plus, they were old too and didn't open and close with ease.

I doubt the vent covers are that old, I bet someone replaced them with the wrong ones. That stinks though! Well I hope you find a good deal at Home Depot.

They aren't that expensive. I replaced all of mine in my place for less than $30. I got some that look like laminate and they match pretty well. The old ones had lost their directional flanges so they definitely needed to be replaced.
