Moisture damage. Someone stuffed insulation batts in there and blocked airflow. Installing vent chutes as I go.

I've seen more robust looking tents than your 'house'.

 

[Edofnor]

in dubai, even the slave tents are made of gold

Mmm attic baffle chutes.
Now fill it with r-48-60 of loose fill and construct a nice catwalk.

Random example:

Maybe consider getting a better soffit board installed so critters have no chance of getting in?

i bet bob vila is offended by this thread

 

[Brasstax]

Or go with a system like this and reclaim that space

 

[Edofnor]

yes, go with the favela flavor

[so] the added insulation batts blocked the airflow, and the origonal blown insulation wasn't even to the wall. The rotten wood started right where the insulation was stopping the air and towards the peak.

I'm taking this picture from the garage side where there's no insulation yet. The OSB I added a few years ago but haven't blown insulation in yet. The rotten wood starts where the insulation is.

So this was neat. The roof sheathing was rotten and saging here, so someone got into the soffet and built a little bird house to support it from below.


I'll be sistering in some support.

Over 5k pounds of junk roof.

You can also see a distinct line of moisture damage at the transition from garage to house. Notice the insulation touching the roof deck.

I tore this section open to remind myself not to step on it.

More rotten wood
