I just moved back to the East Coast after being in San Diego for nearly 6 years.
My coldest winter since has been a Christmas in the south of France. These
past few weekends have been brutal. Nearly 40 degrees outside! I didn't
realize how cold/hot sensitive I had gotten until I moved back. Wimp.
Anyway, I'm going to insulate my unattached garage's walls and close off
the ceiling, too. There are no vents at the eaves and there is no roof vent.
The main questions I have are: The roof has a steep pitch, but to do it
properly, I would need to add vents at the eaves, those stiff foam air channels
to prevent ice dams, and a roof vent, right? Do I even need those air channels
if the roof angle is say 30-45 degrees. One more question. Can you add
a roof vent from just the top of the roof or do I need access from under the
roof?
Thanks, Paul
