I don't own it. It is a rental. I am trying to find a reasonable solution to the heat problem.
Lack of insulation is part of the problem...as is the very small amount of pitch of the roof.
There isn't much air space up there. I have a point able, infrared thermometer and the temp at the ceiling in the living room will hit 90 degrees on a warm day.
According to some people, I guess it is a good thing that when the house was built, the codes determined that there was no need for it? A few hundred $ extra when the house was built would have paid for itself numerous times over the years in keeping the house cooler without the need for fans. (built in 1991)
