OK, maybe this will help - some very quick & dirty drawings showing kind of how the house is laid out. It's a "dutch colonial" four-square; we think it was one-story to start with, and they added the 2nd story in a kind of "cross" formation with flat roofs, except for the front which has a slight peak to give it a barn sort of look. The ceilings are all really high because, except in the bathroom, there's no attic space above. There's ceiling, then rafters, then roof. Period. What little eaves/attic space there is has been insulated to the best of our ability. I don't know if they're vented or not, but it would be worth checking it out.
