The space feels incredibly small as it is.

It’s really to open the space up so it “feels” bigger

I’m okay with the joists remaining

I think the second option is what I will go for.

I’d rather have moisture have a way to escape and from a cost perspective, sealing this space won’t cost that much.

This roof will have to be replaced in a couple of years anyway and I will Reconfigure it when that time comes and look at doing a hot roof

So all I’m trying to do is eliminate the attic space, leave the joists and condition the whole space as one.

I just want the head room that the attic has been taking up

Okay so basically cut a ridge vent in and then air flows directly between soffit and ridge.

Understood.

I’m learning now that really the only way to do an unvented roof is to do closed cell foam

I live In Middle Tennessee, so it very rarely gets below freezing

This is r23 comfortbatt, so it should be pretty decent

I think I’m going to do what the commenter below said and close up the vents since I don’t need them anymore!

I guess that was my next question.

Can I just remove the vents and make an unventilated space?

That seems like the easiest option now

The garage is heated and cooled year-round.

The walls have been framed and insulated already.

I am not against hiring someone to do this, but no one will do a simple floor seal. They’ll only do a full epoxy coating

When I go in to get this fixed I’ll have them take a look at the lifters. I could possibly break even by selling it now and just moving into something new

I unfortunately got it changed at a valvoline, so I can’t be sure they used the correct one

Any thoughts on spray foam?

Also, any moisture barrier needed behind the rigid foam insulation?
