Rafter ventilation

Contrary to what I thought earlier, ventilation is required to framing regardless of insulation. I was planning on providing it anyway. But now to provide it in spades, I've drilled holes in the existing blocking and same in the blocking above the new beam. Now the ceiling can be covered without gaps, and the rafter bays will still get cross ventilation from eave to garage attic. Lucky I made all those screened slots in the eaves even though I thought it was unnecessary!

Photo also shows blue ceiling boxes and the false beam at far end.
