By Scott Gibson, Abby Cote| Fine Homebuilding Verified I’d like to add this to the long list of ways of how to keep caulk from drying out after it’s been opened. From a scrap of PVC trim, cut a piece that’s about 3/4 in. square and 3 in. or 4 in. long. Then drill a 1/2-in.-dia. hole a couple of inches deep in one end. Push this cap onto the tip of the tube of caulk. It’s almost a perfect fit, with just enough resistance to create a tight seal and prevent the caulk from drying out.

However, the benefits of roof vents are debated. A freshly immigrated Norwegian carpenter built our two-story house in 1931. It has a walk-up attic that can be aired out in the summer with a pair of windows in the gable ends.
