Slice up some little .5 cm strips but don't worry they are only for support and no need to be accurate.

Now cut those strips in half.

Let's make some Ventilation Pipes :) Grab a straw and crush the end folding it in half.

Now you should be able to insert the crushed end into a secong straw's opening.

Continue this until you have enough length to reach all 4 cut outs. Should take about 3 straws. Trim off the excess.

Make sure to NOT cut TOO short.

Take a straw and cut it to fit the remaining hole on the left.

There are 5 straws in the photo but you need only FOUR.

2 Black and 2 Greys. I got these at IKEA, they are already colored. how cool is that :)

If you have plain straws, you can paint them the correct colors.

Remember those little strips we cut? Glue them with your Hot Glue Gun to the base of the Shaft floor.

Place 1 behind each column. this way you won't see the straw supports when looking at the ventilation from the front.
