Default attic ventilation: almost no eaves
wrote:
Just bought a house in New England.

The home inspector said the attic ventilation was inadequate. First,
the ridge vent wasn't big enough. Second, he said there were no
soffit vents.

Just eyeballing things from underneath, the eves are very, very
narrow. How could soffit vents be installed if there's almost no
soffit?

One obvious solution is to install roof vents (jacks?) low on the roof, although
soffit vents should be the first choice if possible. Vents in the end walls near
the attic floor level could also work, I would think.
