If you build a cupola, it will exhaust all the air you
can get into the attic. It will also let more light in,
give you a place to hide antennae, gauss-guns, or snipers,
and give you easy access to the roof when you have to
re-shingle the whole thing because someone put black
shingles on an unventilated deck.
