Good Morning,
I read these posts often, and have seen a lot of great information (thanks for that). I signed up to ask a question myself about our cabin. We have a flattish 2/12 pitched roof, the first half has been framed with 2x6s from the ridge to mid-roof then 2x4s from mid-roof to the eaves. This leaves little ventilation and there have been mold issues which we are attempting to resolve. I’d like to replace the 2x4s at the eaves with 2x6s which would give us better ventilation. I’ve read that some have added furring strips to the tops of the rafters to create more space, while others have simply secured 2x4s horizontally across the tops of rafters and below the sheathing to accomplish the same thing. It seems to me that would be more secure, however, I am unsure how far to space the 2x4s, and if in fact, this is a better way to go. Any input would be much appreciated. The roof is off, as well as the fascia and trim, so I am ready to proceed.
Thank you so much, John
