13.  “Drill 2- to 3-inch-diameter holes in the sheathing between each truss or rafter approximately 1.5 inches down from the ridge. The holes should be equally spaced and should remove no more than 1/2 of the total amount of sheathing area between the rafters. For example, if the rafters are spaced 24 inches o.c. and 2-inch-diameter holes are drilled, they should be spaced at 6 inches o.c., which will allow about 12 square inches of vent area per linear foot when the holes are placed along either side of the ridge.” – Designing The Building Envelope, Volume II, pg. 11-50 – 11-51
