Breathing may be a necessity of living beings, but even an inanimate house needs to breathe. Moisture control in any house is really important, but this is especially true in a tiny house with the wet-breathed inhabitants and their boiling cook pots spewing moisture into the small space. So, you need some air flow to vent that moisture and dry things out.
We found these nifty rafter vents called Raft-A-Vent (made by Cor-A-Vent) which are installed over the bird block boards to allow air intake into the eaves, then trimmed the roof sheathing back a couple inches from the roof peak to allow the air to vent at the highest point.
Once we got those eaves vents installed, we could start attaching the fascia boards. Being one of the external pieces that will be visible once the exterior is finished, it was exciting to get the fascia boards up and see a glimpse of the Hygge Hale’s completed splendor.
Air flow is very important. Nice job on the fascia, Eli and Tracy.
Thanks! I’m so excited to see the whole exterior come together.
