[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3720706, member: 15054"] When I roofed my house (Myself) I stuck plenty of roof turbines on it. I had 5. The house was built in 1974 and like always happens in these older homes I got a busted water line under the concrete. I fixed that with Pex ran into the attic and I laid fiberglass insulation over it. Well cold air just falls from the sky and I had one vent almost over that pex. There was 3 feet of space between the Pex and the roof decking. Still that cold air falling would freeze that water line. I removed that turbine. I am down to 4 and during cold winter days I bag them as I also have a gable vents and soffit vents and 14+" of insulation in the attic. You can sure feel the heat difference in this 2 story when you bag the turbines. People say it is not good to do that.. well I have tested humidity bagged and not bagged and there is ZERO difference in my attic. If I re-roof this house again it is getting steel. Same goes for all my houses. [/QUOTE]
