    Converting the attic into a living space

    The vent on the end of the building, where exactly is that, centered? how high? Not in the center on the 3rd row on each side.. They all 80" high. It occurred to me t it is in the right place, air may not have to get under the ridge board, so maybe you could raise the ties a little.
