Comment: The ridge cap attaches to the tops of each rib, so there is a substantial air gap between the ridge and the wide/flat portion of the roof panels. During installation of the OSB roof sheathing, we left a 2" wide opening at the peak of the roofto allow hot air to rise and escape.

It's purpose is to direct rain that is driven past the vinyl siding and runs down along the tyvek covering.

Where the plastic brick moulding meets the typar housewrap, we squeeze in a continuous bead of polyurethane caulk. The result is a water tight shell, awaiting installation of the front-line weather barrier; vinyl siding. * 640 x 480 * (67KB)
