Plus the ridge beam is located right there.

Same situation here.

I thought a ridge vent is supposed to be one of the best sorts to install. If he had 70' of vent that was 1-2" wide, that's 840sqare inches of vent if it was only a 1" wide vent which is 5 5/6 sq ft. If the slot was 2" then it would be 11 2/3 sqft. I guess if it was just 1" then that doesn't sound like enough, but I would think 2" should have been plenty.
