A friend just found that the roof sheathing on his barn was not left open at the peak and therefore the continuous ridge vent is accomplising very little. He is looking for a way to saw off 1-2 inches of plywood sheathing along both sides of the ridge from the inside. This is a somewhat confined area to cut since you will be working between the roof rafters. He's trying to avoid removing the ridge vent and cutting the sheathing from above.
Only thing we can come up with is a rotozip. Neither of us has ever used one so I don't know if this is a feasible option. I suggested a sawzall but he's afraid of cutting through the sheathing and cutting the shingles. It would also be tough to get a shallow enough angle for the sawzall between the rafters.
Any suggestions???
Thanks in advance for any replies!!!!!
