thanks trader- the vent sections are 2 ft wide, soffit is about 3 ft
overhang.
actually, i don't know if there is adequate airflow or not. it was pointed
out by an insulation contractor that i probably was not getting enough with
the siding. his suggestion was to remove the entire siding along each side,
then remove the plywood underneath the siding. but this sounds pretty
extreme.

i live in texas-gets really hot in summer. attic temp gets to 140-150.


140 is hot enough to burn the hair off a dogie.

Maybe you need a roof fan.
