exposed rafter tails

I am wondering about ventilating the second story with exposed rafter tails. I am trying to match my new garage to my 1909 bungalow and am told the garage second floor will cook if done as it was back in 1909. Need recommendations and diagrams/photos to show my contractor.

    Hello - You'll want to put button vents in the space between rafter tails and then a ridge vent. Otherwise, you can spray foam the roof rafters to avoid doing any venting.
