Do NOT insert xps or eps or ANY insulation board under ground where water makes contact. They will absolutely absorb water and retain it and the moisture will be in perpetual contact with the side of your slab. Over time this will damage your slab. This has been proven on location in many videos.

If using fering strips and foam board, do you have to extend the eaves? Currently they are only 12 inches without the added foam board and furring strips.

I’m dealing with a mess. Hot as hell with no air movement in summer and ice dams in winter. I was going to buy the gable power vents till I tuned in to your presentation. The goal is to keep the attic temps as close to outside as possible? What keeps your living space different and comfortable is the insulation in attic, right? So how does the air flow from these soffit vents into attic if you have the soffit blocked off at the plate by a board going from truss to truss? I thought I heard you say you cut out some of it and install those chutes to allow air from soffit vents up into attic while closing the rest of the area below it with 1” blown foam insulation, ideally, or standard insulation. Am I getting it? Today I’ll look at little closer at the ridge vent I have and see if there is even a gap up there for air to flow. It’s going to by 90 plus outside today seems like fun! BTW are you out camping?

I'm glad you found that very helpful. My first question is is this a storm chaser? Things that make me go hummm My questions to you would be how old is the house do you know if it has aluminum slotted soffit vents or not. If it's a 1920s home that has the solid soffit with no Vents then that's considered a hot roof and ridge vent is useless. The soffit Vince I'm talking about would be on the underneath side of where the gutters would hang on a home. I have reopened the forms if you wanted to post pictures of your home you can do that at letsDIYmyhome.com And that would make it much easier to give you the correct information.

Well im guessing your down south..... So I have been doing some research and now I guess im welling to say as long as the gable fan you want to install has lovers so when its not running they close. Now I would put that on a thermostat and set that to 110 degrees.... witch means mornings cloudy days and winter mo. its not running... this will 100 percent work against the roof ventilation system. I think you should talk to your local Engineer before doing this. I personally would just use close cell spray it all and turn the attic into a conditioned space... problem solved the correct way.!

I went into our attic space recently and noticed that I can see a lot of sunlight through the square vent on the roof - I notice that the square vent you are showing in this video probably doesn't? There are shoots, but I also notice that the attic is VERY hot - it has insulation up against the room walls next to the attic space, but the heat in the attic is as hot as outside - should this be happening? What should the temperature of the attic be, because I can feel that heat seeping through the walls into the rooms next to it and it gets really hot up there during the summer and really cold during the winter.

It's just the gap varies a bit, so I may need to cut the wood pieces in smaller lenghts and glue together.

Our house in the desert has little issue with moisture. It’s just heat I need to remove from the attic with active ventilation. Maybe if the monsoon season returns moisture will be more of a concern but the active vents (solar powered fans) would handle that also. The humid regions of the country have much more issues.

sana in the Attic or sauna in the house? For the folks that are down south Arizona climate. I would be looking at two other options in the attic to fight heat. The one that would work best honestly would be turn the attic into a condition space which means at that point we will be then spray foaming against the roof sheeting and sealing up the attic which means now we Good heating coolant if one wanted to but definitely would want to keep a dehumidifier rolling up there. In the final option would be is look at something called the p2000 which is a reflectant film cheaper but does help a lot

All the advice I got was to close off the gable vents so the side airflow would not interfere with the airflow up from the soffit vents through the ridge vent. This has helped the upstairs be more comfortable in the summer. Same with turning off our attic fan to not interfere with the airflow up and out the ridge vent.

@@letsdiymyhome Thank SO MUCH for the tips. I really appreciate it. Just bought a 940 sq ft. home that was built in 1955. Rectangle structure with 10/12 roof, gables on each end of the home, facing east & west. One whirlybird/turbine, no soffit vents. No insulation. Second story has 6' ceilings (where the upper 1/2 of the wall is at 45* angle, just as you described at one portion of your video). There was clearly water damage on some portions of the 2nd story ceiling sheetrock. Pulled it down, and saw water stains on roof and back of sheetrock, but even after a weekend-long rain, saw no water coming through the ~20yr old shingle roof. Dunno if the previous owner had the leaks fixed or if it's condensation. I'm betting the latter. Long story short, I don't know if that qualifies as a "hot roof". Had a new metal roof put on, and took down the turbine. Roofer suggested putting up gable vents and not soffit vents. (Apparently his roofing system doesn't allow for ridge vents??) But he's a young kid, so I don't know if he's guessing or giving professional advice. Thanking you for any/all suggestions.

Would the power roof vent, solar power roof vent and whirlybirds all work the same? Whirly use air to turn and solar power vents use solar/sun to power it to turn? The power roof vents I guess are wired but don't they still do the same job as the other two? Don't they all suck up air? I'm just asking. I was looking into the solar power vents. Thanks.
