Q: I am a contractor in Maryland. I work on quite a few ice- damming situations. Right now I am working on a four-valley roof, no overhang basically other than rakes. All four corners come to a point at the bottom of the valleys. The roof is cathedral with a 12/ 12 pitch. The valley interior is an exposed beam rafter. I want to know if 1-inch furring is used on top of plywood, allowing air in from sides as well as bottom point, then new sheeting installed over. What are condensation issues? Can under-plywood be covered with Titanium similar to CVRS (Cornell Ventilated Roof Sheathing)? I've attached a picture of the house. -- via e-mail
A: You have not said what type of insulation, if any, is on top of the roof deck or what the roof deck is made of, including the type of ceiling finish.

The EPA is proposing amendments to the national emissions standards for hazardous air pollutants for Primary Aluminum Reduction Plants to address the results of the residual risk and technology review that the EPA is required to conduct by the Clean Air Act. If finalized, these proposed amendments would address previously unregulated emissions (i.e., carbonyl sulfide (COS) emissions from new and existing potlines and polycyclic organic matter (POM) emissions from new and existing prebake potlines and existing pitch storage tanks); remove the vertical stud Soderberg one (VSS1) potline subcategory; reduce the MACT limits for POM emissions from horizontal stud Soderberg (HSS) and VSS2 potlines; eliminate the startup, shutdown and malfunction exemption in accordance with recent actions by t...

Q: I have a small cabin in northwest Pennsylvania adjacent to Allegheny National Forest. The cabin is sided with T1-11 and stained with Thompson's WaterSeal. Love the look, but we've been suffering porcupine damage the past couple of years. How can I keep the critters from eating my camp? I've been told that the T1-11 is a delicacy for them. The repellents haven't worked, and they last only a short time. I've heard crude oil keeps them away, but I don't want the dark look from the crude. Any suggestions? -- Pittsburgh
A: Any plywood is a delicacy for porcupines because they love the glues. The only real preventive is to wrap the bottom of the siding with small-mesh chicken wire or the widest mesh hardware cloth you can find.

Q: My house was built in the early '70s. It uses two-by-six rafters. The clear span is about 13 feet (between side walls and ridge board). I live in New York state with a good-sized snow load. The roof has developed an inch or so of sag between the ridge line and the rafter tails. I attribute that to the rafters being undersized.
A few details: Roof pitch is 4 on 12. The house is a plain ranch style with no hips or valleys. The rafters are nailed directly to the ceiling joists, and the* roof deck is plywood.
