I want to finish a small room in my attic that is 1/2 the length of the home. There are no soffits built into the house. Inside the attic and just about 10? in from where the 12 on 12 roof meets the floor/outside walls there is a tiny
4? vertical board between roof joists and is sealed in place. Thee or no noted vents here. There is a peak vent. I don?t want a height R factor in the roof. I?m leaving some of the 6? joists exposed for the sake of having the ?beam? decoration. The home is 118 years old. The singles are new and there is solar power on the roof. All of the frame wood is true cut wood or full size. The joists are 2x6. Do I have to ventilate this roof befor batting and should I have a moisture barrier?- posted
