Cathedral ceiling is where there is no airspace left between the insulation (usually batted) and the roof.

Vaulted is where it is sloped, but still some roof to walk/crawl above, inside the attic.

@KeyEnergyID Thanks man. I really never knew there was a difference. I thought it was just a Tomato - Tomato thing. Thanks for watching!

Hey Jgspeer,

Yeah there's plenty of baffles running from the eave to a ridge vent. Before I added the insulation I reached down through each rafter bay as far as I could to connect the new baffles with the existing ones.  This allows air to flow through and remove heat and humidity.

Nice vid man. I believe it's called cathedral if it has a peak and comes back down the other side. To be real technical there is supposed to be a throne on the floor just below the peak. hehe :) Vaulted is where it only slopes up from one side from what i've understood. The reason I'm commenting was, I wanted to ask you, if there's an air space for your roof sheathing to breath and keep from overheating.
