Thanks!

no idea why people here think this..... we've been here and on the coast since 2006.... NEVER had anything melt in the attic. but of course proper ventilation... Our other house was 2600sf and the attic had 9 vents compared to 2000sf and 3 vents.... that's the difference I put in a solar attic fan and it resolved the issue for $1000. The vents that I wanted were going to cost twice as much so I settled for the fan and it does provide the same as I was getting in the other house with more vents.

hope that helps
