Albert Einstein, Said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
I drive past a house covered with tarps. The other day they were removing the metal roof one sheet at a time and installing a new roof. The rafters and perlins looked black like my friends pole barn where he keeps his horses, black from water damage. My friends pole barn has nothing under the metal. Frost in the winter forms on the metal. Sun comes out, better run, it rains and smell like horse pee.
They weren't putting anything under the new metal. I saw no gable vents, roof vents, eve vents. Wonder is this guy has mold in his insulation. Please vote, Should this guy get the Albert Einstein award for insanity?
Shouldn't all attics be properly vented regardless if they are shingles or metal? I don't see too many roof vents on metal roofs, why?
I'm a believer you can't have too many much ventilation. My roofs have roof vents 10-15 ft apart, eve vents, some gable vents, ridge vents and power vents, which cuts down on A/C load. Shingles will curl if you don't have proper ventilation. Will metal rust on the bottom side without proper ventilation? Won't this guy have condensation issues like my Friend's pole barn? I'm not worried about my boat rusting, it's aluminum.
