Following up from my last blog, here is the installation of the front gable vent. With both front and back gable vents, there is air flow through the garage interior, reducing condensation and minimizing temperature variation. Here are the highlights:

| Test fit to check final placement and plumbness. The garage has settled on the left side and the horizontal shingle lines are not quite level. I cut the hole slightly larger to allow for adjustments in placement in case the vent appears tilted. Luckily, only minor adjustments were needed to make the vent appear plumb and level. |
 |
| Hole cut into plank sheathing. The front was easier because there was no stud blocking the opening. So, it was a simple cut with a jigsaw. |
 |
| Gable vent installed with construction adhesive, reinforced with screws, and screw holes filled with sealant. |
 |
| Gable vent with touchup paint, complete. |
Now, I can start on the interior upgrades for a garage art studio/gallery.
