Mike, Nope, two bedroom walls and open stairwell area border that portion. I wanted to look into the area when the siding was stripped but the contrators had the wall all buttoned up before I returned. I cannot imagine re-insatlling the vents there harmful. Thanks for all the input you do here! Jay

These pictures are from the listing in 2008. The roof was replaced later that fall just before closing. What now amazes me it it appears from this photo roof vents existed. They are sure not there any more. It amazes me to think they would have been taken out and roofed right over. I did notice at least one place in the attice that has a hole approx 18" by 18" that had been covered with metal and shingled over. Perhaps the previous owners saved a few dollars by not reinstalling them?

You can see both sections here. If I am installing more ventilation it makes since to place some vents on this section as well even though I cannot see into it.

Thanks for all the information all! Resale is a concern and I certainly do not want this to become worse over time. After reading the comments I am leaning towards hiring to add more ventilation and clean/disenfect the sheathing. The bathroom vents are ran to the same location just under a cap. They are not connected in anyway and fall short of actually exiting the roof by approximately 2 or 3 inches. You are correct sir, overhanging eaves. I looked last night and I have 3 open on one side and 5 on the opposite. The insulation is not blocking any of them although it appears the cardboard baffles could be re-situated to allow more air flow. On the second part of the house there is 14 feet ceilings. I imagine there is no more than 24 inches of roof space between the inside and outside. I think I may install roof vents there as well even though I cannot see inside the cavity.

Also the roof was replaced in 2008 prior to closing. The roofer stated the sheathing looked good from the roof side. Looking back I wish he would have just replaced it all but the previous owner foot the bill on that one.

Hello, the OSB is the sheathing which was placed under the new Hardie Board a few months ago. The House was built in 89 an had T1-11 and LP1 siding which was stripped. There was no backing behind the T1-11. The attic has 6 sofit vents on one side and 3 on the opposite. In addition, it has two gable vents. No roof vents. Thanks!

Hello! This is my first post here. I am very curious as to those more knowledgeable think about these attic pictures and what appears to be mold. Thanks! http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj277/behr70/100_5122.jpg
