It straddles that area where you had that open spot in your sheathing, so the air escapes up into here, and then it filters out through these cores here. This is called a snow block, so this keeps snow from coming up and coming into your attic area. So the air escapes down through here and then exits like this. This ridge vent is able to exhaust 20 square inches of air for every foot of ridge vent. So once this is screwed into place, then our tile will go right onto the top of this, like so. It fits perfectly. Headlok fasteners and we put that right through the core vent into a 2x4 that weve attached below. Then we just continue that process all the way across the top of the roof.

In some cases, people really enjoy homeowners associations. Why . Because they protect them. In other cases, i must tell you, they are a nightmare. They can be totalitarian regimes, but most totalitarian regimes, while they have their downsides, they also can be clean and orderly. This is karen and james. They bought a home in an hoamanaged neighborhood and one day found themselves in the middle of a major bat
