This past winter our attic had a bad moisture problem with some frost accumulation on the roof decking. After looking into it, it seems like it's a ventilation problem. The former owner's father installed a ridge vent when they redid the roof, but from looking around the house I can only find 4 soffit vents, but they were blocked by insulation in the attic, so I figured it was an imbalanced intake/exhaust problem that could be fixed by adding more soffit vents and putting baffles in. However when I went to put the baffles in I found a different problem. The rafters look like they're sitting on boards that are blocking where the baffles should go. On top of that there are boards blocking access to the soffits from between the floor joists. Is there any way to improve ventilation and solve the moisture problem without a major roof/attic overhaul?
Let me know if you need different angles in the pictures to make sense of it.
