Thanks for any suggestions! I just purchased a one family, one story house. As soon as we got into the house, we started taking off some old paneling from the walls. Then we noticed on one side of the house, there is a gap of about five inches from the bedroom walls and the exterior walls!! It's like the outside wall is being pushed out, not happy that the inspection company didn't spot this but............ Then while up in the attic, I noticed at the very peak of the roof, same side of the house with the wall problem, the roof seems like it's sliding down and I guess this is pushing the wall out. My question is, what would cause this, how can it be remedied and what can I do for the time being, to keep my house from falling down!!!

The roofers just finished my roof today and I’m not certain the ridge vents are installed correctly. I’m hoping I’m wrong. The ridge vent they used came in rolls – which I’d never seen before. It’s some sort of plastic extruded mesh with rows of miniature cones and wrapped in in some sort of fabric. Also, they didn’t run the ridge vent all the way to the very ends of the peaks. My biggest concern though is that there really doesn’t seem to be much of an air gap along the edges of the cap shingles – I don’t see how much air can flow through. It seems like the pretty much nailed the shingles down in the normal manner and compressed the ridge vent material. In fact, when looking up at ridge vent in the garage – I didn’t see any light coming through. Any comments/opinions on my concerns? Thanks in advance. :(
