Nope, no soffit vents at all. I'm sure some air leaks in from around the trim, but no actual vents.

I was planning on using those foam or plastic chanels if need be. I might have to put two together to extend up far enough, but we'll have to see.

The roof is 2x6 construction, so I at least have a few inches to play with for insulation.

I like the screen idea. I will have to see how that compares to the plastic. I had thought about it being a vapor barrier. I just forgot to mention in my post that I would just poke a bunch of holes in it so it can breath.
