Post Subject: Horn as "Room"Posted by Paul S on: 7/25/2010

Scooter, many houses in the Northeast were roofed by people who understand how this works, and the first few courses of shingles are "underlain" accordingly, to preclude such seepage.
In Romy's case, I believe he could simply treat the entire horn like a "room", since the conditioned air from the house will moderate the horn's temperature, etc. via the horn mouth, in any case.
The floor/ceiling area under the horn would need special attention before the horn was installed, with high-value insulation going into the relatively shallow joist bays, before the horns were slid in. Then, the horns themselves would need to be fully insulated, probably with foam, and the remainder of the "gable" wall from which the horn mouths emerge should also be fully insulated. This would complete an insulated shell around the conditioned "space", and the attic, per se, could then be fully ventilated, as it is now.
Best regards,
