Top ventilation was before mesh floor days. Now many have mesh floors there is no need for top ventilation. Having no hole in the crown board is no real issue unless you use the hole as part of your winter feed method. This also means the match sticks under the crown board are a little out of...

Just let then build their own comb below the bottom bar. Its free. W
