old victorian house with no ventilation in atticWhat is best way provide ventilation?
Cut the chicken breasts into strips saute in some olive oil and garlic add some chili powder about a teaspoon fullWhen chicken is 2/3 done add broccoli diced into bite sized pieces also add the peppers cut into thin stripsIf you have add a jar of brown gravysimmer for about fifteen minutes and serve over the wheat riceIf you don't want to saute in olive oil you can substitute some chicken brothExcellent with a fresh saladGood Eating.
Dice the chicken up into one inch cubes add the red and green bell peppers and brocolli to a skillet with extra virgin olive oil, or your favorite healthy oilFry those all together with a little bit of salt, pepper, garlic and just a hint of cayenne pepper to give it a kickCook the rice as you normally would and when its finished plate it up with the rice on the bottom and dish your chicken on top of the rice.
The very best way is to provide plenty of opportunity for cool air to enter low into the attic (via the eaves, for instance) and plenty of opportunity for hot air to escape at or near the highest point, all while keeping rain, snow, birds, and other pests out, and without compromising the looksWithout knowing more, I can't be specific, but victorians usually have decent eaves and soffitsCan you install 4 X 12 soffit vents pretty much all the way around? You'll have to cut holes about 3 by 11 where each one goes,and they will need to be paintedPrime them with cheap shellac or varnish, so the paint will adhere better (or use acid to etch the metal) and install baffles at each one, running up the rafters a foot or 2 to keep loose insulation from clogging the ventsVictorians sometimes have gables, and often they're 12/12 pitch, so a 90 degree gable vent is a possibility, tooIf you don't like the look of those and you have gables, round or other decorative gable vents will workNear the top and on the back elevation, I'd put in 2 whirlybird brand (don't know the size of attic, so I'm guessing 2) and 4 or so air hawksBe sure the air hawks have bird screening, and also wasp screen on the soffit ventsIf you use James Hardie continuous soffit vent material, the holes are so big bugs can get right inHope some of this helps.
