I woule be leary of putting any insulation on the exterior of my house knowing how the wind, rain, snow can infiltrate anything.
This was sort of my idea- I was going to roll out some thin insulation or cut boards, and then put some fairing strips in and put in a false ceiling losing half of the beam depth.

Interesting ideas so far everyone.

What I know right now is that the roof is flat with enough pitch to throw off water. It is some black stuff that looks similar to what I have on my current house, and when I put the elastomeric coating on it at my present house it cut down heat a good amount. That said, at my present house the flat portion was only over an exterior porch so I wasn't super concerned anyhow. I'm waiting on the inspection report, hope to get it today. That should have pics of the roof and hopefully tell me more about what I am dealing with up there. I will share.
