    You can rent a core drill at a rental store and use a 4 inch bit.

    SS. Too bad you could not get one of the kits of collapsible venting - that way, you could re route it to another area. Have you thought of that? It can even be re routed up the wall to the outside!

    We ran ours through an inside room wall, through to the next room, then down the wall, to the outside area. Hubby built a box around the venting, and we use it to sit pots and pans on, since it's in a storage area of our house. Good luck.
