If local code allows, you can possibly vent them out a sidewall and then up through the eave but they must terminate above the roof .

Bottom line, no. The vent must terminate above the roof, local codes will determine how you get there

Now that doesn't make a lot of sense Brian. You go through a stone wall to avoid going through the roof?
Now I have seen the vent stacks in Ireland on the exterior. The logic being that if they freeze they are easier to thaw. Or if the get blocked they are easier to snake (rod).

For crying out loud in the beard!! Am I the only one that hasn't been to Ireland?! You guys sure know how to make a fella jealous. Only way you can make it up to me is take me with you on your next trip. You pay airfare and Ill buy the drinks. Something tells me I get the short end of the stick.
