Hi,
We’re remodeling and adding-on to a house that has an unvented shed roof that terminates against a gable wall. Can anyone direct me to a previous discussion or offer any tips on how to retrofit venting for this condition:
The eave of the shed has a continuous soffit vent installed, but there is no escape at the ledger, where the shed roof leans against the gable wall. It looks like the roof sheathing butts right up against the wall sheathing, it’s fully flashed, sided and shingled.
I thought first to create a flat spot on the ceiling inside to create a triangular interstitial space and vent through the shed gables on either side, but there are skylights in the shed, and their position won’t allow sufficient volume.
Any help would be appreciated.

Greetings Rex,
There have been numerous disscussions regarding the vent situation you mention here on Breaktime a number of different times in the past.
In the event you fail to receive the information you desire, you might find it in the archives.
If you scroll down in the lower left corner of your screen there is a search function that will take you to previous threads dealing with whatever you type in the search bar.
If you type in 'shed vent' or other keywords of the subject matter you'll get a supply of data from those old threads.
Cheers
