V is for Vents and Ventilation













A home needs proper flow of air.
It's wise when we take care.
Good money is often spent,
On the things we call roof vents.

    I would hate to see how it would be without those vents!

      I would imagine possibly stuffy and if not accumulating dampness, then maybe dry rot. Couldn't be a good thing to avoid needed venting.

    Our roof would bake in the sun and the heat from the attic would heat the whole house. Cost us a fortune in A/C! Should of had a vent!

      I've got those large "whirly birds" that spin all the time, or seems to.

    We can't live in a house without ventilation or else we will die of suffocation.

    Been talking about some sort of ventilation on the roof since we moved into this house...

      A friend uses a fan, sitting inside of one roof end window - pulls hot air out. She says it's all she needs. I wonder :)

    Yeah, if those roof vents aren't proper then you get a lot of leaks! DH had to fix ours a few years back. Cute little poem you came up with to illustrate your alpha prompt for today.

    When we first bought our house, we insulated too well and grew a bit of mold. Had to open some holes back up.

    I don't have any roof vents, but lots of windows to open and let in air.

    Thanks for the reminder to clean out my air vents. It's not good to breathe in extra dirt and dust.
