I have framed a cathedral hip roof.
Roof in garage no baseboard celing.
I would like to make it a peaked roof but realize that is a major cost.
If you have a working bath fan i recommend installing a programmable timer switch.
If no fan is currently present install a panasonic whispergreen fan.
I also put it on the sides which needed a few furring strips because i hung it vertically.

No need for furring strips either.

2 man job at best.
There was no ridge because the top of the roof was flat 6 wide.
No tapeing no painting.

This will toggle the fan on and off throughout the day.
