Looks like a good solution. Thank you for the suggestion. Might even have a bank of these installed. I had my roof redone to the decking a couple years ago and the roofer failed to let me know that the ridge vent air flow was blocked by insulation, and they did not remove it. Nice. This was a recommended potential solution at the time. Thank you. Mark
