Hi all:


I'm insulating a flat roof from inside the house, using faced
fiberglass batts.


There's 3 or 4 places in the roof where insulated electrical wiring
(14/2 w/ground) is run across the joists and I'm unsure as to proper
procedure in these spots. *Is it OK to cut the batts in a way that I
can fit them into the spaces such that the insulation completely
surrounds the wire?


TIA.

Yes. *Blown in insulation covers the wires all the time.


Thank you!
