Jerry,
Just a little confused.
09 IRC R806 speaks to blocking under the eave. I understand these blocks as fireblocking is that a correct assumption?
Furthermore, the section speaks to ventilation which IMO may interrupt the integrity of a fire block but is in some cases a necessity, however, is the 1/16" opening in the vent to eliminate embers etc... which makes it acceptable?
