Old house (1915) two-story farmhouse w/ kitchen addition (~1930) to
the south side that receives tremendous solar heat load in summer (SW
KS--not AZ hot, but close).
The house has open-decking shingle roofs w/ 3/8" cedar shingles (not
shakes).
The roof over the addition has no venting and owing to aforementioned
solar load the shingles fail on this one roof section quite rapidly
compared to the rest of the house. Since also had some fairly
significant damage owing to wind taking a large branch down that fell
on one end, am planning on replacing this section shortly.
Owing to the fact that it simply abuts against the second story wall I
can't see a good way to add effective venting. A thermostatic-
controlled vent could be installed while reroofing, but there's no
access for maintenance, etc., so not real keen on the idea.
Anybody here got the right answer??? :)
OBTW, the addition is roughly 36x12, the roof pitch is 4:12

Can't you put an end vent in?
