I am an above average DIY’er but I am exceeding my comfort levels with my latest project. The previous owner built a 16 x 30 addition between the master bedroom and the garage. He ran out of money and put a sloped shed type roof on the 16 x 30 room. I want to remove the shed roof an build a framed up cathederal cieling. I will use a 2 x 12 ridge beam tied into my existing attic stucture with 2 x 10 rafters on a 6/12 pitch. The rafter tails will sit on the existing garage and master bedroom walls. My question is, do I ventilate the cieling space in the 2 x 10 rafters? I am in so. California and will use r30 insulation in the spaces. One end of the rafter sis open to the attic space above the master bed room, the other end butts into the garage.
