normally is the IN vent for your attic so it will tend to suck that

moist air into the attic which is where you don't want it.

true...and i've been going back and forth between this and the roof
installation and heard people give support for the soffit vent as
well.

what i plan on doing is covering the small holes in the vinyl soffit a
foot or two to the left and right of the soffit vent to minimize the
air getting sucked back in.


i'm fairly confident it won't be an issue. thoughts?


It will depend on a number of factors including local weather
conditions, the total venting area etc.
