venting my attic

| Posted in General Discussion on

*
when we built our house we installed continuous soffit vents with proper vent and gable end louvers. Last year I also added ridge vent along the whole top of the house. Should the gable end vents be covered in winter? I do not know if the gable vents defeat the ability of the ridge vent to work properly.
