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.
