The Refletix radiant barrier that is available here is mylar & aluminum. On normal construction it is stapled in place (make sure to use staples that will last, like monel) (and of course on our weird house, staples and some interesting clips were uses.... there are times when having wood is nice.... like, when you want to attach things...)
Kathy, cutting larger vents or removing the frieze blocks, vs drilling the 'bird holes' vents are fairly similar in time & skill. We enlarges most of our 'bird hole' vents in our ohana. You can buy the larger rectangular vent covers in the same aisle & location as the little 'bird hole' vent covers... the increase in ventilation is well worth it!
