We are remodeling a room that has a dormer. There is no attic space since the ceiling matches the roof. I don't know the term for that. Vaulted, cathedral...
anyway the person that built it put in proper vents from the soffit up towards the peak. now the soffit is only vented on one side of the dormer, there is no roof or ridge vent. The part that has me confused is the fact that there is no airspace anywhere, it's completely filed with bat insulation. Furthermore, there was what appeared to be mold but only under the styrafoam proper vents where that little bit of airspace was.
I plan to seal up the soffit completely airtight, repack with insulation so the entire space is filled, there will be no airspace at all, cover with a ploy moisture barrier and drywall.
Does that sound correct?
