Efficient attic ventilation
So, I've been looking for a house since around winter. Last weekend we finally looked at a propery that has almost everything we want. I'm not very knowledgable about house building and efficiency, so I've been reading up on it as much as possible the past few months. However, I did notice when I went into the attic of this house (2 story old farm house) that it was HOT. I'd say it was well over 100 and that was on a 70 degree day. The house doesn't have A/C, but they fairly recently put a new roof on the house. I would have assumed they would have put in adequate venting. Ok, I did help do two roof last year so I at least know a little. In any case, what can be done about this? I assume vents are normally put in before shingles etc and ripping things up wouldn't be very fun. Is there an easy fix? Any links to good sites would be great too.
