I am converting part of my attic into a rec room. I am sure many people run into the same pradicament that I am in. What the heck do I do with the gable vent. My roof is designed with continuous soffit vents, static roof louvers (close to the ridge on the aft side of the roof), and two gable vents on either side of the house. In an ideal situation, I would like to replace the gable vent with a window. If I do this, would the other gable vent, along the louvers, be adequate exhaust? Also, I am going to use channeling to go under the insulation along the roof so as not to plug the airflow.
If I can't replace the gable vent, I will start my ceiling below it. Does anyone have a clue what I should do to keep the dang thing from leaking all over my new ceiling? When it rains hard and with the right wind directing the gable vent is useless in stopping rain.
Thanks!
Oh ya, I am located in middle TN, if that gives you an idea of climate.
