- Not to get ahead of ourselves, I have to install moore vents in the rafters to properly vent the attic before the vapour barrier can be put on the ceiling!

Really appreciate your video, as I'm about to do my own roof (off grid). Apparently a special caulking is required in my area around windows, doors, and change-in-plane.
Thanks again
You got me reaching for the saw, lol. I was thinking, man he’s old school 😂. Thanks for the video. I am enclosing a porch and making it an addition and was not sure how to insulate the low roof ceiling without blocking up the soffits, you showed us how to approach this. 👍🏼
Me too! Classic.
Your videos are awesome, I am following each one as I go along and insulate my garage
Glad you enjoy them and are finding them helpful! Good luck on the garage!
Thank you for this video!!!
CONGRATS ON 99 SUBS! I honestly can't even imagine a higher number of subs.
This is a great video and exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for sharing this!
Thanks man
Congrats on 101 subs!
I bought the cardboard ones but they seem kind of cheap and I am wondering if they might be effected by condensation over time. What do you think of the cardboard ones?
Oh I actually haven’t heard of those type but that would be a concern of mine too, if over time they get damp and even rip through the staples and fall off. Usually I’m pretty confident in recognized brands products though, so if it’s from a reputable brand they should be good to go, gotta watch out for the gimmick brands though 🙃
Cardboard ones in my home effectively dry rotted out after a few years. I ended up replacing it with a plastic baffle.
I ended up building my own out of some old scraps of plywood and lumber I had lying around that I wanted to get rid of anyway.
Solid idea, those won't be going anywhere!
I use SmartBaffles
Why would you not spend 200 and buy a rolling scaffold ? When done sell on CL . Nice work
Why is it important for air to be venting through the attic? Just moisture and mold?
Heat also im in dallas
Attic fills up with heat during the summer which makes the AC work harder and cooks your roof. In the winter, the humid air from the house will cause mold.
its crazy to me how expensive these vents are - they're made of the same Styrofoam stuff you get at the grocery store underneath the chicken but for the price of a lb of chicken EACH!
Where did you buy the pink styrofoam baffles?
These were bought at a local Home Hardware here in Ontario
Is every rafter supposed to have a vent? I never seen this
There is a min amount, but you can’t have to many! Your attic space is suppose to be cold, so allowing air through the eaves, into the attic, and then out the roof vent, allows humid air to escape the attic and avoid unwanted moisture
How far up did you take the baffles?
I think it was 36” from the top plate. I took into account the blown in insulation and made it 12” higher then that I believe
I need to do this except they already blew in insulation 🥺 Where did you get these vents?
Ooo ya, it’ll be a little annoying to do once the blown in insulation is in. They are called Moore vents and you should be able to get at any home supply store (Home Depot, lowes, etc)
Best rafter vents
4:29 Hi whats the gray stuff on your post base? Caulk?
Yep! It is caulk, siding guys did that :p
I watched this whole thing and I didn't see a single sub...
you should never have two vaper barriers on the wall. Moisture will collect between them
you need a ridge vent
We got gable vents, but good call!
You should never put gable vents and a ridge vent in the same attic.They will work against each other,the gable vents will suck air in and out through the ridge vent. Thus little air movement down lower.
FEET 😱😱
