Project # 41 INSTALL A GABLE VENT
|
|
|
|
Many older homes have inadequate attic ventilation. Air movement through
|
|
your attic helps remove excess moisture to keep the roof joists dry and
|
|
prevents the area from overheating. If your house has a gable roof you can
|
|
increase your attic ventilation by installing a triangular gable vent.
|
|
|
|
You can easily tackle this is a job if you have some carpentry experience.
|
|
The vent will cost about $70 and should take the better part of a day to
|
|
install. These vents are sized according to the area of the attic floor.
|
|
Check the package to make sure you purchase a vent with the capacity you need.
|
|
|
|
The installation is straightforward. You need only basic carpentry tools.
|
|
Most of the work is done from outside the attic so you will have to climb a
|
|
ladder to the roof peak. If working up high on a ladder does not appeal to
|
|
you, hire a carpenter. He'll charge about $120 to do the job.
