Existing roof issues!
I have a 30 year old New England log home. This house has a loft, with no attic and is open all the way up to the ceiling. The ceiling consists of 2" tounge and goove, then on top of that is 2"s of insulation board, then felt, then shingles. No plywood was ever put between the insulation and felt so the asphalt shingles are nailed with approx. 3" long nails through the insulation into the tounge and groove. The doormer (10" x 35") is leaking even after many attempts to fix it, so I am thinking of re-doing it but this time with plywood over the insulation, then felt then shingles. I can't think of any effective way to vent the 2" space effectivly to help dispell the heat. I obviously can't have any through hole vents into my bedroom area. Does anyone have any ideas of why they would have left the plywood off to start with? Maybe it will cause to air tight of a situation? Thanks T |
