Sometimes you have to get creative when dealing with older homes. One issue we needed to tackle was a lack of ventilation in the attic of our project house. We are installing ridge vents, not sexy, but super effective and soffit vents. Four of the soffit vents are right at the front entrance so my husband was opposed to the usual store bought ones. Instead, we built our own using window screen, cedar strips, and decorative aluminum sheets that are made for duct work, etc. They come in a few different styles and colors and are a nice way to add some character to an otherwise boring functional piece. This also allows you to create much larger vents allowing for greater air flow.
