Still waiting for the wall boards and roof timber to be delivered, so today I decided to try to make one of the three louvred vents which will be placed at each of the three gable ends. This is easier than you might think, but you do need an electric mitre saw, which makes life a lot easier.
Yep, all done! Notice that the top louvre leaves a large gap because of the angle necessary to slot in the pieces. There was also a similar gap at the bottom of the frame (but that was my fault for not working out better spacing!). This looks quite ugly from below, and that's important because I'll only see this from below - the vent will be high on the wall, in the roof space. The solution was to add some trim around the whole frame. At the top and the bottom this covered the gaps left by the louvres. At the sides the trim is flush with the louvre pieces, which you can see from this picture would otherwise stick out.
