@kathy_johnson Its a Clay S-tile roof that was built in 1988. It's getting peel and stick underlayment as we speak. The NFVA according to the bui...

I think if I just leave it alone and not add the dormer, I would be better off. Eventually, I will replace those MR16 lights and air seal around them...

No signs of mildew or musty smell in the attic. Honestly, it's been "fine" all these years. This area of the attic storage space sits on top of the ...

I have a feeling the original builder opted against ventilating this small attic space because it’s butted up against the master bath and closet, whic...

@davidnebula590 I have considered O’Hagin vents but O’Hagin themselves spec’s out 18 vents and drilling holes on the joists …a little excessive (the p...

No Soffit vents, most likely due to the fire code and high fire zone the house is located in. I think the only low profile intake vent that I can use...

@cathywood8 No musty smell or condensation that we have seen, but I need to get up there again.

I made a discovery yesterday when looking at the original house plans. It calls for two 14x8 gable vents side by side, but the house was only built w...

It being a "S" tile roof, I don't think I can take advantage of the "smart vent" product (but it looks like a good option for shingles). Looking at...
